Qianzhan published a brief announcement about the new Science magazine article COVID-19 risks to global food security by IFPRI researchers David Laborde, Will Martin, Johan Swinnen, and Rob Vos. This summary quotes Director General Johan Swinnen who said, “The most important impact of the epidemic on food security is that the decline in income it causes puts food supplies at risk.
