Abstract

ABSTRACT Rising food insecurity during COVID-19 has revealed deep inequities in food systems. The pandemic has also highlighted the vulnerabilities of global food supply chains and the need for cities to increase the resilience of their food systems. The challenge is to harness the lessons of COVID-19 to promote more resilient urban food systems that are also healthy, equitable and sustainable. Policy solutions should focus on robust social protection mechanisms, strong networks of food system actors that can respond rapidly to shocks, and diverse food supply chains that draw on local as well as global sources of food.
