“…Similarly, a report by Action Aid presents that 35 percent of migrant workers were eating less than two meals a day. Returning migrants in Bihar were found close to 60 percent were unable to get two square meals a day (Saxena and Mohan, 2021). A study by the Right to Food Campaign "Hunger Watch" also shows that two-thirds of the respondents were eating less nutritious food than before the lockdown (Kesar et.…”

Food security means different to different people. It is context specific. One aspect is the yield per acre and availability of food grains. On the other aspect, it deals with policy interventions and their impact on social systems, particularly in India's context of 182.2 million people being undernourished. Food security means not only making the availability of food grains to the growing population but also its sustainability in terms of accessibility and acceptability of food grains. The inevitable policy interventions in India have shifted the production interests from traditional crops to commercial crops and increased the need for the intervention of private companies in production and marketing. The crops produced now are more export-based and urban-based, with less calorific value and high cosmetic standards. With a fragmented supply chain and increasing private monopoly over food production, the stability and sustainability of Indian food systems in feeding the 1.39 billion population are questionable. This study analyses how the policy interventions since independence have changed food production systems and their impact on sustaining food security.

“…The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 of the United Nations on zero hunger has set the target to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030 across all member countries. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been widespread across the globe and has significantly affected vulnerable communities severely (Summerton, 2020;Dharmalingam et al, 2021;Saxena and Mohan, 2021). Udmale et al (2020) evaluated the status of the global food balance due to COVID-19 outbreak on food supply and issues in achieving SDG 2 on zero hunger and concluded that developing countries are more vulnerable due to cereal supply shocks, an economic slowdown and increase in poverty during COVID-19 that would further lead to delay in achieving the sustainable development goal on the world without hunger.…”

PurposeThis study aims to analyse the nature and trends in the knowledge discovery process on COVID-19 and food insecurity using a comprehensive bibliometric analysis based on the indexing literature in the Scopus database.Design/methodology/approachData were extracted from Scopus using the keywords COVID-19 and food security to ensure extensive coverage. A total of 840 research papers on COVID-19 and food security were analysed using VOSviewer and RStudio software.FindingsThe findings of the bibliometric analysis in terms of mapping of scientific research across countries and co-occurrence of research keywords provide the trends in research focus and future directions for food insecurity research during times of uncertainty. Based on this analysis, the focus of scientific research has been categorised as COVID-19 and food supply resilience, COVID-19 and food security, COVID-19 and public health, COVID-19 and nutrition, COVID-19 and mental health and depression, COVID-19 and migration and COVID-19 and social distancing. A thematic map was created to identify future research on COVID-19 and food security.Practical implicationsThis analysis identifies potential research areas such as food supply and production, nutrition and health that may help set future research agendas and devise policy supports for better managing food insecurity during uncertainty.Originality/valueThis analysis provides epistemological underpinnings for knowledge generation and acquisition on COVID-19 and food insecurity.
