The debate on health, nutrition and food security cannot be
scrutinized at a more opportune moment. The pandemic that we
recently faced and are still facing has given rise to increased
food and nutrition insecurity for individuals, families, and
communities. The COVID-19 crisis threatened the food security and
nutrition of millions of people, many of whom were already
suffering. In the longer term, we face possible disruptions to the
functioning of food systems, with severe consequences for health
and nutrition. Pandemics create a greater burden for poorer
countries and countries since they are already pressure of
inadequate food supplies. With concerted action, we can not only
avoid some of the worst impacts but do so in a way that supports a
transition to more sustainable food systems that are in better
balance with nature and that support healthy diets – and thus
better health prospects for all. This book aims to highlight the
impact of pandemics in food systems and nutrition security. The
book draws on the experience from the past and present pandemics to
better prepare the world for future crises.
