In some ways, the Coronavirus has led many parts of the meat industry to change. In other cases, it has merely accelerated changes that were happening anyway.
Locally raised food, online meat sales and small meat markets were gaining in popularity anyway, at a steady rate. When the big grocery stores ran out of meat, consumers turned to new ways to buy groceries for their families. Some have undoubtedly gone back to their old shopping habits, not that the meat supply is plentiful once more. Others, though, have adapted these new sales channels to their regular shopping habits.
