In the past, it's been easy to ignore the gaps in our globalized food system. If we ran out of something, we could just import it from somewhere else. But with the restrictions on trading and limited medical care for farmworkers, our food supply chain is now in danger of coming apart. In this episode we discuss a few of the main issues farmers are facing, particularly with produce. Problems with redistribution, proper crop care, and workers' rights are all rising to the surface. Hopefully, this episode helps explain why your grocery store's shelves are empty and how COVID has changed our food system forever.Instagram : @souspielpodcastSources:https://www.npr.org/2020/04/10/831656052/some-infection-rates-drop-but-u-s-hasnt-peaked-yethttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/coronavirus-could-double-number-of-people-going-hungryhttps://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-during-emergencies/food-safety-and-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/us/farmworkers-coronavirus/index.htmlhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-effects-of-covid-19-will-ripple-through-food-syhttps://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2020/04/23/483488/protecting-farmworkers-coronavirus-securing-food-supply/

Let's be honest. We're all getting a little antsy with being held up indoors with the same people on end. How do take care of those around you while also making sure you're protecting yourself?

Hi world! Jacqueline and Evie here. We got tired of shouting our opinions into the void and at each other so we decided to grace all of you with our internal dialogs. Congratulations. Please forgive the echoing in this one. We couldn't figure out how to fix it in editing so we decided to just say fuck it. BUT we fixed the issue so it shouldn't happen again. This episode really just gives you an overview of us and what we hope this podcast will be. So enjoy this hour-long storytime ramble of an episode.Instagram: @wtftipodcast
