The pandemic that began in March 2020 disrupted every aspect of life.
First responders and medical workers deservedly have been recognized for all of their work, but one aspect of the pandemic rarely gets discussed–food production.
This is one area that couldn’t shut down. People still needed to eat, but the way people got their food changed almost instantly.
The Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) had a front row seat to the choices and challenges the industry faced in keeping Americans fed.
To tell that story, CIFT decided to create a documentary short to provide the public with a glimpse behind their grocery shelves and take-out packages.
They recently finished the film and are premiering it online. “#essential–the untold story of the Ohio food industry and the pandemic.” will be shown at 2 p.m., Thursday, August 26 on the CIFT’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
The premier will be followed by an online question and answer session. Anyone interested in participating in the session is asked to contact Todd Underwood at tunder wood@ciftinnovation.org. Registration is limited.
