Popis: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a large number of casualties worldwide and is an unprecedented challenge, with profound social and economic consequences, including compromising food and nutrition security. Traffic restrictions within and between countries can impede food-related logistics services, disrupt food supply chains and affect food availability. The consequences of the limits on the movement of agricultural labour and the supply of inputs present critical challenges for food production, endangering the food security of all, especially the populations of poor countries. Incorrect information of the population proliferates more easily, especially in times of crisis, when an excessive amount of information, data and potential solutions (real or false) on the current problem is proposed. Responses must be well coordinated worldwide to limit the consequences, end the pandemic and prevent it from recurring.
