Preparations for food shortages caused by COVID-19
COVID-19 is changing the worldwide food systems as the readiness of labour is lessened. What preparations have already been made? Shortages and consequences for home produced food, supply, trade, competition, inputs, prices, diet and dietary deficiencies, and production in other sectors worldwide.
Given the lead times for breeding new crop plant varieties and the predicted effects of global warming on the climates and weathers of the world and other sources of instability.
To control the damaging effects of COVID-19 on nutrition, dietary deficiencies, starvation, and other effects on health.
To control the damaging effects of food shortages on the economy, UK civil society and international relations.
