It’s about 2 minute video from an onion farmer/packer dumping his produce due to restaurant closure and supply chain breakdown.

We saw millions of lbs of dairy dumped. Millions and millions of lbs of produce will be dumped in America during the covid shut down.

Two things: 1. If it doesn’t go to restaurants, it gets dumped because there just isn’t enough demand when there is no restaurant industry.

2. The reliance on supply chain throws light on on how there is really no local food supply/production. This has worked very well so far.

Logistics and supply chain in Ag has been stellar and it really really works very well. When it works.

To me, this shines light on food wastage and consumption. Obviously we are all still eating at home. We are eating less when we don’t go to restaurants apparently.

Perhaps we will emerge out of this thinner and hungrier.
