TT Talk: feed the world

The movement of foodstuffs in containers may be commonplace, but can present a number of challenges – as exemplified by the article here on bulk grain. However, this edition also raises a critical alert to the entire supply chain industry about the unwanted movement of invasive pests and the impact that has on crops – and biodiversity in general – in recipient countries. Action time!   I hope you find these articles useful.
