Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit us, we worried about the sourcing and safety of the Food we buy and consume – then, from the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, everyone was affected by disruptions in Food & Grocery Supply Chains worldwide, on the most basic level.<\/p>

Following our international webinar on “Healthcare Supply Chains and the impact of COVID-19”, The LCL Conversation Series continues with the next edition.<\/p>

Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit us, we worried about the\u00a0sourcing and safety of the Food<\/strong>\u00a0we buy and consume – then, from the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, everyone was affected by disruptions in Food & Grocery Supply Chains worldwide, on the most basic level: mass shortages of food stocks in retail outlets partly due to production shutdowns, and mangled quality and sourcing along supply chains. What is the situation now and how can we optimize Food Supply Chains and Safety for a better future? How can we best prepare for a possible second wave of the coronavirus, or another major disaster?<\/p>
