“The coronavirus is showing how food supply has become too centralized, especially for meat processing,” Byck, an Arizona State University professor, told Fox News.
“We could use a lot more mid-level meat processing plants, all around the country. So if one plant went down, there would be others to pick up the slack. It’s one of the reasons the farmers in the film are often making so much more money — because they’ve created their own supply chain and selling direct to customers.”
