As the report explains, challenges caused by COVID-19 have highlighted vulnerabilities in the food supply chain. Since March, the demand side has seen panic-buying of goods and changes in consumption patterns. On the supply side, farmers are the most impacted group. First, reduced capacity at meat processing facilities generated bottlenecks that prevented livestock from reaching market, an income loss for farmers. Second, timing is critical in farming. Crops must be planted and cultivated at specific times of the year, of course, and cannot be harvested until the process is complete. Labour and supply shortages have also led to delays. Overall, this generates greater uncertainty for farmers and increases their financial risks. The report calls on policy makers to address the food insecurity of Canadians and the financial uncertainty of farmers in the long-term.
