2 April 2020. With a growing concern about the impact of COVID19 on health, food security and livelihoods, IDH and Mirova organized a webinar on additional measures that agricultural/forestry companies and sustainable landscape operators can take to halt the spread of COVID19, and support workers and neighboring communities.
In four sessions, over 420 participants heard from experts on the role of private companies in combatting COVID-19, the impact on food supply chains, their experience on plantation management during the Ebola crisis, and practical steps they are taking right now.
