Hi #YugenCommunity!
The Yugen Stories team is excited to announce our first event! The Food and COVID-19 Webinar will be held on October 15th, 2020 at 6:30 p.m.
This webinar is intended to bring awareness to COVID-19 and its effects on the economies, food systems and food security within the Caribbean region. Given the region’s high levels of food imports, the event aims to discuss the effect of the pandemic and government responses on food supply chains and our consumption habits. It also seeks to address policy improvement and investment in regional agriculture sectors to increase our resilience to external shocks.
Hosted by our very own Community Manager, Ms. Daniella King, this event will bring together experts from around the Caribbean region to examine case studies and responses to the impact of COVID-19 on food security and includes a Q&A session where you can interact with the professionals to find out more about the topic. Be sure to look out for the registration link on our social media to sign up for the event! We can’t wait for you to tune in, learn and participate! 😊
I’m curious to know: What words come to mind for you when you think about food and the COVID- 19 pandemic?🤔
