From 2018 to 2022, food supply chains in the U.S. faced multiple compound shocks, including natural disasters like floods and droughts, and disruptions from events like the trade war with China and the COVID-19 pandemic. These events created serious challenges for the systems that move food across the country and connect farms, cities, and international trade. We used a national database to study how food movement was affected, where the biggest impacts happened, and how long recovery took. We also used a network approach to understand how well-connected different regions were. Our results show that some areas, especially farming regions in the Midwest, were hit hardest and took longer to recover. This research helps us understand how to build stronger, more flexible food systems that can be better for the future.
