It’s not rocket science. Moving 60k pigs from Tennessee or a mountain of potatoes in Idaho to wherever the masses of hungry people are takes so many tricks/trains etc. It’s just mass/volume and distance/fuel type arithmetic problems. Moral arithmetic is blind to logistics

I'm hoping that more people start to understand logistics and supply chains as a result of our current TP shortage. And maybe how operating businesses at very low margins reduces resilience.

In general I agree, but if the food suddenly needs to be destroyed *due to COVID*, surely that implies a supply chain already exists that would get it to within reach of consumers?

the current biggest problem is that restaurant consumption of food products has massively decreased, while demand for regular groceries from the public has skyrocketed - yes, there is/was a functional supply line to restaurants, but without the same volume, supplies are piling up

Often just an information problem of knowing the right lanes to ship in and getting the right logistics partner. Can be hard to surmount without the right data, tech and science applied to the problem. Have you been following my work with
