ABSTRACT Our analysis situates the current COVID-19 induced food crisis within a longer-term historical perspective on policy responses to past food crises. We argue that the legacies left by these past policies created vulnerabilities in the face of the present crisis, which is characterized by three interlocking dynamics: disruptions to global food supply chains, the loss of income and livelihoods due to the global economic recession, and uneven food price trends unleashed by a set of complex factors. We make the case that the COVID-19 pandemic marks an inflection point and demands a different set of policy responses that work toward fundamentally transforming food systems.

这场粮食危机有所不同：COVID-19 与新自由主义粮食安全秩序的脆弱性

摘要 我们的分析将当前 COVID-19 引发的粮食危机置于对过去粮食危机的政策反应的长期历史视角中。我们认为，这些过去政策留下的遗产在当前危机面前造成了脆弱性，其特点是三个相互关联的动态：全球粮食供应链中断、全球经济衰退导致收入和生计损失以及不平衡一系列复杂因素引发的食品价格趋势。我们认为 COVID-19 大流行标志着一个转折点，需要采取一套不同的政策应对措施，从根本上改变粮食系统。
