2021 Global Food Policy Report: Rebuilding food systems after Covid-19 (My Joy Online)

April 19, 2021


My Joy Online (Nigeria) published an article on the 2021 Global Food Policy Report that stated that the severe health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted food systems and upended livelihoods. The report provides lessons drawn from the current crisis that can help us transform food systems to reduce the impact of the ongoing pandemic, better prepare for future shocks, and address longstanding weaknesses and inequalities. Director general Johan Swinnen said, “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.”
