The COVID-19 Crisis and Food Systems: addressing threats, creating opportunities

New blog from Lawrence Haddad, Jess Fanzo, Steve Godfrey, Corinna Hawkes, Saul Morris and Lynnette Neufeld

This blog explores whether governments, businesses and civil society are thinking enough about food access and the wider food system in response to COVID-19. The authors ask: How will the crisis shape the food system if we do nothing? And what can we do in the context of the crisis to get the food system in better shape to improve the consumption of nutritious foods for all, especially the most vulnerable?

There is also a very helpful table that lays out The COVID-19 Crisis and Food Systems: Probable impacts and potential mitigation and adaptation responses, with actions for different stakeholders at different points in the food system.
