Climate change is affecting all human activities with agriculture, hence the production of food and beverages, facing a good number of challenges. The occasion of a pandemic, such as the COVID-19 increases the level of complexity and uncertainty even more. Brewing is a special case because it is heavily relying on two agricultural ingredients, barley, and hops, and it requires them to comply with very high-quality standards.
