The New York Times reported on the global food crisis, a result of the COVID-19 health crisis. Director General Johan Swinnen, stated that there is no shortage of food globally, or mass starvation from the pandemic — yet. But logistical problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave poor countries exposed in the coming months, especially those reliant on imports.
