Closure of markets has meant many in the agricultural industries have required support in distributing their products. In Lyon, local government took the following actions:
- Identified producers in difficulty and their needs via the Chamber of Agriculture
- Coordinated digital platforms' connections with producers and consumers
- Mapped additional warehousing facilities to support storage of produce and preparation for market
- Provided specific open-air collection points to collect orders
- Researched other rapid distribution channels e.g. through the Red Cross
- Created additional sales outlets when markets were not viable
