Disrupted food systems in South Asia led to resilience building policies (Financial Express)

July 08, 2021


Financial Express (India) published an article on the severe health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has disrupted food systems and upended livelihoods in South Asia, but has also led to policies aimed at building resilient food systems. According to IFPRI’s 2021 Global Food Policy Report. “The pandemic responses have demonstrated the power of well-crafted policies to blunt the impact of major shocks while laying the groundwork for stronger, more resilient food systems,” said the report. Director General Johan Swinnen stated that “We have known for a while now that there are major problems with our food systems, that they are unequal and unsustainable. This crisis has revealed these problems in a way that none of us can ignore, but it has also demonstrated that we have effective ways to address these problems.” Also published in New Age BangladeshDaily Asian Age (Reach 10K), The Bangladesh PostDhaka TribuneDaily Observer (Gambia), and more than ten other outlets.
