Abstract

The Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis that is already having devastating impacts on the world’s economy. The challenges and vulnerabilities related to food security in these countries are further exacerbated by the current coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. As a quick response strategy to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, countries have imposed various types of movement restrictions, both locally and globally, which have therefore been affected. Agricultural production, food availability and access. These impacts are also being felt by food and agriculture sector. How detrimental these effects are to food security and the livelihoods of farmers, fishermen, and others working along the food supply chain. The main purpose of current study was to access the impact of COVID-19 on food, agriculture and starvation in lockdown. Major strategies include ensuring continued availability and access to food during and after a pandemic/crisis (i) setting up a communitybased food network, (ii) collection and maintenance of food and agriculture data, (iii) controlling food prices. To stabilize, (iv) infrastructure development for food security, (v) increase investment in agricultural research and policies, (vi) adoption of modern agricultural practices, and (vii) reduction and management of agricultural and food waste.
