Abstract
According to The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021, 2.37 billion people regularly face food security challenges. Additionally, the USDA Economic Research Service reported that 10.5% of U.S. households (13.8 million households) were food insecure (Rabbitt, et al. 2023). The COVID-19 pandemic challenged food access for some, especially the most vulnerable portions of society, including the low-income, elderly, and children. Additionally, COVID-19 shed light on the importance of the global food supply chain and the need to support its resiliency.
