“…This has an impact on economic stability in China. This is in line with the research of Stephens et al, (2022) which shows that the Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the agricultural sector. The first aspect of the agricultural sector that has been affected by the pandemic is the availability of household food for both urban and rural residents, the second is chronic food-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity whose conditions can be fatal if exposed to Covid-19 (Lopez-Ridaura et al, 2021).…”

Food is a basic need for humans. Since March 2020, Covid-19 has been detected in Indonesia, which is feared to have an impact on food availability. Banten is a province that is included in Priority Category 3 in handling food insecurity. Cilegon is one of the cities in the Banten Province that is experiencing shrinkage of agricultural land. The purpose of this research is to formulate an urban farming development strategy in Cilegon. The method used in this research is the survey method. This type of research is descriptive, namely research that interprets the factors with the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis method to produce strategies that can support the development of urban farming. The number of samples is 22 residents who carry out urban farming in Ramanuju Baru, Cilegon. The results showed that the internal factor that became the strength was the residents having high motivation and initiative in carrying out urban farming, while the internal factor that became the weakness was the limited knowledge of the residents in developing urban farming from an economic perspective. The results of research from external factors that become opportunities are Cilegon Government Policies in realizing food security, while the threats are pests and diseases in urban farming plants that need to be controlled naturally. Based on the analysis of internal and external factors using the SWOT matrix, the strategy to develop urban farming in Cilegon is to collaborate with the government and urban farming experts to provide consistent assistance to make urban farming activities in Cilegon economically valuable. To realize food security in Cilegon, collaboration is needed in aiding the community to manage urban farming professionally, so that it can provide economic value for the community.

“…This has further intensified wind erosion activity, resulting in a gradual increase in organic carbon loss. However, the difficulties in transporting basic agricultural materials and the lack of labor due to COVID-19 in 2021 led the global agricultural activity level to generally decrease [53], so organic carbon losses also decreased slightly in 2021. The loss of carbon further intensifies the greenhouse effect by increasing the temperature, resulting in lower soil moisture and so promoting further carbon losses [54].…”

Wind erosion can cause high dust emissions from agricultural land and can lead to a significant loss of carbon and nutrients from the soil. The carbon balance of farmland soil is an integral part of the carbon cycle, especially under the current drive to develop carbon-neutral practices. However, the amount of global carbon lost due to the wind erosion of farmland is unknown. In this study, global farmland dust emissions were estimated from a dust emission inventory (0.1° × 0.1°, daily) built using the improved Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System–FENGSHA (CMAQ-FENGSHA), and global farmland organic carbon losses were estimated by combining this with global soil organic carbon concentration data. The average global annual dust emissions from agricultural land from 2017 to 2021 were 1.75 × 109 g/s. Global dust emissions from agricultural land are concentrated in the UK, Ukraine, and Russia in Europe; in southern Canada and the central US in North America; in the area around Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, in South America; and in northeast China in Asia. The global average annual organic carbon loss from agricultural land was 2970 Gg for 2017–2021. The spatial distribution of emissions is roughly consistent with that of dust emissions, which are mainly concentrated in the world’s four major black soil regions. These estimates of dust and organic carbon losses from agricultural land are essential references that can inform the global responses to the carbon cycle, dust emissions, and black soil conservation.

“…Una parte de la literatura científica sobre el impacto del confinamiento pone de relieve la elevada capacidad de respuesta y adaptación (es decir, la elevada resiliencia) de muchos sistemas agrarios y de la mayor parte de los productores agrarios (Stephens et al, 2022), destacando que el impacto negativo sobre los sistemas productivos fue limitado, y a la vez que el confinamiento no "disparó" las capacidades transformadoras en el seno de tales sistemas productivos (Meuwissen et al, 2021). Un indicador de ese buena capacidad de respuesta durante la crisis sería precisamente el aumento de las ventas, como respuesta rápida al cambio en la demanda de alimentos por parte de los consumidores (Durant et al, 2023).…”

La pandemia ha supuesto un verdadero shock, también en los mercados de productos agrícolas sostenibles. En este artículo se analizan, en primer lugar y a través de datos secundarios, los cambios en los patrones de consumo de productos agrícolas frescos de los españoles durante la pandemia por la COVID-19, así como los cambios en la tipología de canales y tipos de establecimientos de compra. En segundo lugar, con datos primarios (encuestas y entrevistas) se analiza la percepción que una muestra de agricultores valencianos (vinculados a producciones sostenibles) tiene respecto del impacto del confinamiento, y sus estrategias de respuesta y adaptación. Los resultados ponen de relieve, por el lado de los consumidores, cambios en los hábitos de consumo (compra directa y por internet, mayor calidad) y, por el lado de los productores, estrategias diferenciadas, con efectos igualmente diferentes según el entorno productivo de partida (agricultura ecológica certificada frente a prácticas sostenibles) o el tiempo transcurrido (respuesta en los primeros momentos del confinamiento, frente a la que pudieron dar transcurridos unos meses).
