The COVID-19 world health crisis has affected almost every part of daily life, including the way we get food. The food industry faced massive difficulties from shutdowns ordered to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Restaurants and markets closed or sharply limited their service. The spread of the virus caused slowdowns in meat and produce processing. Food supply systems changed suddenly around the world. All people involved in all parts of those systems had to adjust to continue operating. Take, for example, the United States fishing industry. Fisherman Eric Pray lives in the northeastern state of Maine. He traps lobsters. Pray used to ship his seafood to markets and restaurants all over the country. That changed when the coronavirus began to spread. Pray now sells closer to home and from home. He keeps the lobsters he traps in a homemade tank in his garage and sells them directly to consumers. Pray is one of hundreds in the fishing industry, along with farmers and other food producers, who have changed their delivery model during the virus outbreak.
