Undernourishment and associated health issues are some mammoth challenges that the world currently faces. The poorly design food supply chain (FSC) is considered a root cause of high undernourishment cases worldwide. Since all processes and stages in a supply chain are strongly connected, a slight delay or glitch can trigger a butterfly effect resulting in significant socio-economic losses. The FSC is vital to providing human essentials and a source of bread earning; rank at the top in global industries and any disturbance results in high unemployment and leading social evils like crime and violence in society. Recognize the same; this study examines the impact of food supply chain disruption on undernourished cases in selected Asian countries. Using Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimator, this study provides two key findings. First, a higher intensity of COVID-19 cases translates into higher undernourishment due to direct and indirect effects from higher stringency measures. Secondly, government financial allocations to combat COVID-19 and economic growth significantly mitigate the prevalence of undernourishment. Interestingly, a higher crime index is linked with higher undernourished cases supporting the proposition of socio-economic disorder. These results propose broad policy implications for governments, food regulatory authority, donor agencies, and Non-Governmental Organizations by strengthening the food supply chain and thus reduces undernourishment cases.

营养不良和相关的健康问题是当今世界面临的巨大挑战。设计不良的食品供应链（FSC）被认为是全球范围内严重营养不良案件的根本原因。由于供应链中的所有过程和各个阶段都紧密相连，因此轻微的延迟或故障会触发蝴蝶效应，从而导致巨大的社会经济损失。FSC对于提供人体必需品和面包收入来源至关重要；在全球工业中名列前茅，任何干扰都会导致高失业率和社会罪恶，例如犯罪和暴力。认识相同；这项研究探讨了食物供应链中断对某些亚洲国家营养不良病例的影响。使用广义矩量（GMM）估计器，本研究提供了两个关键发现。第一的，由于严厉措施的直接和间接影响，COVID-19病例的强度越高，营养就越严重。其次，政府为对抗COVID-19和经济增长而进行的财政拨款大大减轻了食物不足的普遍性。有趣的是，犯罪指数越高，营养不良的案件就越多，从而支持社会经济失调的命题。这些结果通过加强食品供应链，从而减少了食物不足的情况，对政府，食品监管机构，捐助机构和非政府组织提出了广泛的政策含义。政府为应对COVID-19和经济增长而进行的财政拨款大大缓解了营养不足的情况。有趣的是，犯罪指数越高，营养不良的案件就越多，从而支持社会经济失调的命题。这些结果通过加强食品供应链，从而减少了食物不足的情况，对政府，食品监管机构，捐助机构和非政府组织提出了广泛的政策含义。政府为应对COVID-19和经济增长而进行的财政拨款大大缓解了营养不足的情况。有趣的是，犯罪指数越高，营养不良的案件就越多，从而支持社会经济失调的命题。这些结果通过加强食品供应链，从而减少了食物不足的情况，对政府，食品监管机构，捐助机构和非政府组织提出了广泛的政策含义。
