Indian Express reported on the release of the 2020 Global Food Policy Report’s findings: Food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty may escalate, particularly among marginalized people in the developing world due to the rapid spread of coronavirus. Director General Johan Swinnen stated “the spread of COVID-19 has highlighted how vulnerable we all can be to global shocks.
