Examined labor and logistical challenges faced by produce growers and distributors.
Considered long-term implications on consumer purchasing habits and labor markets.
Restaurants, bars, and schools closed, forcing a shift of supply from foodservice to retail.
Logistical constraints were reported, but the fresh produce supply chain remained strong.
Expected long-term changes include increased online food purchasing and tighter produce distribution.
