Food policies: In times of COVID-19 and beyond (The Lancet)

May 07, 2021


The Lancet (Diabetes and Endocrinology) published a journal article stating what the 2021 Global Food Policy Report found in its research–3 billion people were not able to afford a healthy diet before the COVID-19 pandemic and this number is estimated to rise by 267·6 million between 2020 and 2022. The report details the severe health and economic effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on food systems and supply chains and provides key recommendations to help achieve healthy diets for all. With the rise in low-quality, nutrition-deficient diets come the inevitable increase in nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which were already at an unprecedented high before the pandemic.
