As we mark the second anniversary of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health, economic, and social disruptions caused by this global crisis continue to evolve. The impacts of the pandemic are prolonged and likely to endure for years to come, with poor, marginalized, and vulnerable groups the most affected. COVID-19 & Global Food Security: Two Years Later presents lessons learned on food security and food system resilience over the last 18 months.
In an exclusive briefing for journalists, four researchers from the International Food Policy Research Institute answered questions and provided analysis on lessons learned from two years of the global pandemic related to food security, poverty, health, and supply chains, as well as how governments’ responses have helped and hindered recovery and how this pandemic experience can inform both recovery and longer-term efforts to build more resilient food systems.
