With COVID we saw just the impact on local food security. Certainly one thing that was pre-existing before COVID was local producers were having a really difficult time getting their product to grocery stores because there were GAP certification requirements. This could have helped solve a lot of our domestic needs in our grocery stores when we did have some real problems with supply chains.

Are you looking at GAP and revising GAP so it's more accessible for local producers?
