The pandemic opens the opportunity to rebuild
By: Mexico Nueva Era & El Pais - November 4, 2020
"Technology and innovation and digitization will be key for the future, not only to face COVID19, but to boost employment, which has been demolished by the pandemic in the region," said Pedro Martel, chief of the Environment Division, Rural Development and Disaster Risk Management of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
“Healthy diets are not within the reach of 3 billion people globally. But we have seen a lot of creativity and innovation during the pandemic. The political environment has changed. Changes have been made that were previously unthinkable. We can use the crisis to move towards a world with more inclusive, sustainable and healthy food systems for all, ”said Johan Swinnen, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IPFRI).

“U.S. net farm income and net cash income are forecast to increase for 2020, which is a fourth consecutive year,” said Katchova. “This growth in farm income is mainly driven by higher government payments, while livestock receipts are expected to be lower as we close out 2020.”
“In contrast to the broader economy, U.S. agriculture had been in a prolonged downturn, even before the pandemic,” said Cowley. “Economic conditions in agriculture have improved since April, thanks to government programs and the recent higher commodity prices.”
