How does the current worldwide food supply chain work?
assistant
The current worldwide food supply chain works through a complex network of growers, producers, processors, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. Growers produce foods such as fruits and vegetables, grains, and livestock, which are processed into products such as canned soups, snacks, and packaged meals. These products are then shipped to distributors, who supply them to wholesalers who deliver directly to retail businesses, where the food is purchased and consumed by consumers. Along the way, various stakeholders, such as food quality inspectors and transportation companies, are involved in ensuring the products arrive in optimal condition and are safe for consumption.
