Cover : In the second article in our food security series, we take a look at how the COVID‐19‐related foodservice shutdowns negatively impacted an unlikely crop: potatoes. As processors turned back potatoes and cancelled contracts, farmers were left with a surplus of last year's harvest to move, even as they were planting this year's crop. This case study demonstrates the need for flexibility in the food supply chain. See story on p. 3. Cover illustration courtesy of Adobe Stock/DiViArts.
