Covid-19 triggers largest disruption of livelihoods in human history (Business and Economy) 

July 08, 2020


Business and Economy (Nepal) published an article on the launch of the 2020 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR). The report states that disruptions to supply chains, lack of access to health and nutrition services, and overwhelmed social protection system are leading to increased food and nutrition insecurity in the region. Director General Johan Swinnen writes “Food systems provide opportunities to improve food and nutrition security, generate income, and drive inclusive economic growth, but even in prosperous times too many people are excluded from fully participating in them and securing these benefits. In times of crisis like today, inclusion is an even greater imperative for protecting the most vulnerable.” Also appearing in The Republica (Nepal).
