How the pandemic made us appreciate local food, and local farmers

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

From worker shortages at meat packing plants to supply chain failures that left crops to go bad in fields, agriculture has taken a shock to the system over the past year. Farmers needed to learn to adapt very quickly. The good news is that in a lot of cases, they did. And once some local farmers figured out to survive, they also figured out how to thrive. Dr. Jacqueline Ricotta, Professor of Horticulture, chair of the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what farmers learned from pandemic, how people learned to love local food, and what trends could stick around even after all of this is finally over.
