    • Dear all,

      With the discussion now closed, I would like to share a word of appreciation for the time you have taken to provide all these interesting comments.

      It is fascinating to read your first-hand accounts on how COVID-19 has impacted the logistics of the food systems in your countries and how governments, civil society, the private sector and individuals reacted to this challenge.

      Unfortunately, in many parts of the world the pandemic is far from over and challenges to the food systems will continue. Hence, do not hesitate should you like to share any additional insight related to this important topic and which could provide valuable information and lessons learned.

      Over the next weeks we will analyze your inputs and publish a summary. Needless to say, we will let you know once it is available.

      Moreover, we will get insights from this fruitful discussion to feed into FAO's COVID-19 resources.

      Thank you very much again!

      Marco V. Sánchez
