We know that Covid-19 caused a major impact on households’ production and access to quality, nutritious food, due to losses of income, combined with increasing food prices, and restrictions to movements of people, inputs and products. Research from the IDS-led CORE programme has drawn out key lessons and priority actions that need to be taken to respond to food and livelihood security challenges. This includes rethinking food and social protection systems to become equitable and resilient and to ensure they encompass gender considerations, market support and inclusive social protection measures.
Join researchers from the IDS-led CORE programme who will present their findings and open up a discussion on the implications for managing multiple crises and building resilience of the most vulnerable. You will be invited to consider what this means for future research agendas.
