Korona: Fear of food supply in developing countries (Nationen)

March 23, 2020


Nationen (Norway) reported on global food security in the time of Covid-19. Africa and other developing countries (more than 820 million people) struggle with food insecurity daily. IFPRI Division Director Rob Vos and Senior Research Fellows Will Martin and David Laborde in their blog post, How much will global poverty increase because of COVID-19?, estimate that the spread of the coronavirus could cause another 14 million people to fall below the so-called poverty line. Nine million of them are rural people living in developing countries.
