Scidev.net published an article on findings and recommendations of the 2020 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR). The article quoted Director General Johan Swinnen and Rajul Pandya-Lorch. Swinnen states, "As the world struggles to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, economies and livelihoods are disrupted, with the poor [and] vulnerable ones likely to suffer the most. For instance, smallholder farmers, market vendors, women and youth directly relying on their farm activities will be hard hit.” The report explains that malnutrition, hunger and poverty during crises can be lessened with an inclusive food system.
