"Coronavirus can threaten global food supply, warns UN HONG KONG/WASHINGTON/ROME/MADRID: The coronavirus pandemic that is affecting 210 countries and territories around the world, has so far claimed 1,918,679 cases with 66,314 new cases and 119,212 deaths with more than 5,000 new deaths. As the novel coronavirus pandemic has shut down businesses globally and sends countries into lockdown, the disruptions are threatening to cut off supply chains and increase food insecurity. “Supermarket shelves remain stocked for now,” the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) said in a report released. “But a protracted pandemic crisis could quickly put a strain on the food supply chains, a complex web of interactions involving farmers, agricultural inputs, processing plants, shipping, retailers and more.” The issue, however, is not food scarcity – at least, not yet. Rather, it’s the world's drastic measures in response to the virus, reported CNN on Monday."
