COVID-19 and Food Security Challenges

Food Security means that all citizens have physical, social and  profitable access at all times to acceptable, secure and  nutritional food that meets their food preferences and salutary  requirements in order to live an active and healthy life.

  The COVID- 19 outbreak poses huge challenges for the global community. While at the beginning the focus has  substantially been on health issues, it has come clear that this  extremity will have big impacts on all areas of society. the resiliency and inefficiencies of global, indigenous and original food systems have the  eventuality to come another major consequence of the epidemic. 

 Food security exists when all people have access to sufficient, safe,  nutritional food at all times, physically and economically, to meet their salutary  requirements and food preferences for an active life. Several factors make it particularly complex climate change, which exacerbates food instability; food price volatility; land grabbing; biofuel' competition'; lack of investment in subsistence  husbandry; and, eventually, social factors  similar as conflict, poverty, education and women's status.

  Exemplifications include  haze kitchens, food banks,  academy lunch programs, and other programs that give food to people in need without  taking any type of commitment in return.
