Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

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.
