COVID-19 is already having an impact on food supply. How do we support direct supply chains that keep farmers in business? How do we keep our shelves stocked with food? What happens to farmers’ markets as public gatherings get shut down? 

We’re doing our best to help producers and distributors keep the food supply network running. Here are some ideas on how we can all work together.

Sharing practices – we’re stronger together

One of our core beliefs is that knowledge should be open and shared, so that we all get stronger together.

Our Open Food Network instances around the world are finding ways to share information and tips about how to respond to COVID-19.
