Alltech, the Kentucky-headquartered agricultural company, has produced a series of videos about the coronavirus pandemic and how it could affect food production and distribution.
The series, titled “Forging the Future of the Farm & Food Chain,” is free for anyone to watch online.
“COVID-19 has shone a spotlight on the global food supply chain and the people within it who keep store shelves stocked and families fed,” the company states in a preview of the series. “Yet, COVID-19 may be transforming the way we produce and purchase food.”
The series includes:
- Part 1: Cultivating Optimism & Opportunity: Leadership in Times of Crisis
- Part 2: From the Frontlines of Food Production
- Part 3: The Post-COVID Consumer: A Remaking of the Market?
- Part 4: Keep Calm & Carry On: The Essential Business of Agriculture
- Part 5: Planet of Plenty in a Post-COVID World
Alltech has its headquarters in Nicholasville. Its operations include animal feed, meat, brewing and distilling.
