Unveiling the Overlooked Impact of Natural Disasters on the U.S. Food and Agriculture Sector
The U.S. food and agriculture sector faces ongoing challenges from the pandemic, rising costs, and labor shortages. However, the sector is also significantly affected by natural disasters, which often go unnoticed. With climate change increasing the frequency and severity of these events, it is crucial to recognize the disruptions they cause in the food supply chain. Private-sector companies, such as generator manufacturers, flood control companies, and engineering firms, play a vital role in risk reduction, recovery efforts, and providing solutions to protect vulnerable communities. Supporting these companies is essential for mitigating the impact of natural disasters on the sector and ensuring food security.
