🔎 Why #foodsystems in crisis?
➡️ Industrial ag driving habitat loss > conditions for viruses to emerge & spread
➡️ Even before #COVID19, 820 million under-nourished & 2 billion w/ #foodinsecurity. Recession to hit them harder.
➡️ Global supply chains have big vulnerabilities.
🚨 Immediate actions?
1 Protect #food workers
2 Protect #farm workers
3 Secure access to food
🌍 Structural change?
1 Build #agroecology/#RegenerativeAg systems = #resilience & restoration of #ecosystems
2 New pact between state & society
3 Reform #FoodSystems governance
🔎 The risks of #zoonotic spillover might be amplified in two ways: intensive #livestock production, and enhanced human-#wildlife interaction.

🔎 The #COVID19 food crisis is made worse by a range of disruptions that are testing the resilience of #food supply chains - they are revealing underlying vulnerabilities. Take #Vietnam & #Malaysia as an example. 👇

🔎 As economies grind to a halt, the impacts will fall hardest on those already facing discrimination or marginalization 👇

Before #COVID19 hit, 820 million people were already under-nourished, with 2 billion people experiencing #foodinsecurity. Many millions more are living perilously close to the #poverty line.

Across the world, #food system workers face insecurity and low wages.
But what of the vulnerability of, in particular, #farmers and #rural workers?
(More on this @ilo: 'Agricultural Wage Workers: the Poorest of the Rural Poor') 👇 #covidfood #foodsystems
IPES-Food calls for action in light of #COVID19.
#1 is protecting the most vulnerable to stave off the worst impacts of the food crisis and an impending recession.

#Agroecology builds #resilience... something that we need more than ever in our food systems! 🌱🌍

#RegenerativeAg #FoodSystems #covidfood #COVID19
During/after #COVID19, there must be a new pact between state and society that starts in #food systems.
➡️ ipes-food.org/pages/covid19
#PublicGood #Citizens #FoodSystems
At #COP26, the UN biodiversity conference & of course the 2021 @FoodSystems Summit, #agriculture is in the spotlight. A focus on #resilience will be crucial.
