Covid-19 and global food security

A Combination of Impacts of Large economic RECESSION and Major food system DISRUPTIONS. Covid-19 affects the food and nutrition security of poor people unequally: they spend most of their income on food. Their main productive factor and property is physical activity. Covid-19 causes more disruptions in their (private) food value chains because it is more labor-intensive. Interruption to public social and nutrition programs. Preliminary estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of people could die and millions will starve without a concerted effort to address food security issues. By October 2020, these efforts had reduced the risk of widespread starvation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Droughts have caused panic as a result of the COVID-19 depression and some measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
