“…Improved transportation facilities for adequate food distribution is another strategy towards resilient food sysytems. Savary et al (2020) and Kamble & Mor (2021) suggest resilient supply chain measures, including international cooperation for food trade, making labor available in food systems, ensuring food security for smallholders, and targeted policies for ensuring stable supplies and access to safe and nutritious food.…”

“…It has also created uncertainties and unexpected inefficiencies in the global food supply chain. Availability of raw material, labor shortage, market inaccessibility of producers, and transportation restrictions are among the few challenges on the supply side of food supply chains (Kamble & Mor, 2021), and similar constraints exist during procurement.…”

Today, global food systems are highly susceptible to food safety risks, economic shocks, price volatility, and natural disasters and pandemics, such as Coronavirus (COVID‐19). This paper draws the research on food and nutritional security, food fraud and associated economic ecosystem, and the disruptions due to COVID‐19 for socio‐economic inequality globally. It is concluded that the safety risks have pushed enforcement of measures to reduce food supplies, adversely impacting food availability. Also, COVID‐19 is likely to raise fleeting food security and nutritional concerns across the globe, which most likely resulted in the rise in poverty, food fraud, limiting food supply and access. Accelerated investments intended to develop more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient food systems will help shrink the effect of the pandemic and, hence, a way to control the foreseen food security crisis and economic growth.

“…The impact of the pandemic and armed conflict has strongly affected the disruption of food supply chain management, access to food and the impact on food security, which has greatly influenced consumer behavior and consumer decisions (Woesrtell, 2020;Ibn-Mohammed et al, 2021;Rejeb et al, 2020). Changing lifestyles, reduced household income, and job insecurity, along with changes in time availability have forced individuals to cope with changes in behavior (Hassen et al, 2021;OECD, 2020), and subsequently, it also affected the amount of food thrown away, including the handling of food in households related to the generation of food waste (Kamble et al, 2021;Vanapalli et al, 2021). Agricultural policies, the food chain and consumption are areas that are interconnected and are reflected in the following political approaches: policies guiding agricultural development, investments, supporting various actors of the food system, regulation of food chains, fiscal policies, market regulations, food self-sufficiency (food security) and consumer protection, social safety nets, sustainable development policies, and environmental protection policies.…”

Due to its dependence on natural resources and weather conditions, agriculture is widely acknowledged as one of the most vulnerable sectors when talking about climate change. Lower yields and productivity, droughts, and water shortages have had an impact on food security globally. The food system using agrochemicals, cattle breeding, processing storage, transportation, and trade contributes even more to global emissions. Incorporating sustainability in the production of diverse and healthy food as a systematic approach to the concept of food security is challenging for the future capacity reduction of ecological systems due to the degradation of natural resources and the rise in social and economic inequality. Regenerative agricultural production that ensures long-term food security and nutrition, as well as processing and trade are therefore essential currently to secure the cooperation of social and economic systems. The main goal of the presented scientific paper is to point out the serious challenge of today related to environmental food losses and food waste in the world and the Slovak Republic in particular.

“…Thus, the linking FSCs are also not immune to this slowdown (Reardon et al, 2020). A significant increase in demand for the commonly shelf-stable food commodities is observed due to a few exemptions in movement and the rumors leading to panic buying and stockpiling behavior of customers and hence, stock-out of these products (Kamble and Mor, 2021;Troskie, 2020). The loss of income to a significant section of Indian society is also favoring this attitude, and as a result, food prices are rising sharply.…”

Goal:The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has severely affected the global economies. It has a considerable effect on the agri-food economy and the linking food supply chains. The entire agrifood sector needs more attention because the concept of 'work from home' does not work here, and life cannot move even a single step without food. This paper offers a future agri-food sector perspective amid the COVID-19 pandemic.Design / Methodology / Approach: This paper explores the short-term and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) based on the available information. The regulatory mechanisms taken by different government agencies, NGOs, and the food industry to manage the demand & supply disruptions are also discussed. Results:The detailed effect analysis of the COVID-19 on agri-food supply chains and remedial strategies are conducted for different interfaces of AFSC, viz. production, handling & storage, processing & packaging, distribution & marketing, consumption, etc. Limitations of the investigation:Given the research area's novelty, it may take enormous time to fully assess the current pandemic (COVID-19) effect on agri-food and its allied sectors.Practical implications: This paper would help the agri-food industry and the authorities assess the effect of COVID-19 on the agri-food sector.Originality/Value: This paper significantly contributes to new research directions and views for the AFSC and disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
