Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic which has cost the world more than 4 million lives so far has had a massive impact on global food security and nutrition. Before the end of 2019, when the first cases of the new disease were being reported from China, hundreds of millions of people across the world were already suffering from hunger and malnutrition (See Figure 1). The pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures that were imposed by governments as a response have only worsened the threat to food systems, possibly hastening the impending global food emergency. [1] Posing more grave threats are political conflicts, natural disasters, and other events such as locust swarms in developing regions. Food insecurity is high, and the world appears farther from meeting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 on ‘Zero hunger’.
