ABSTRACT

COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant adverse impacts, in all ramifications, to the Nigerian society, especially in worsening the hunger situation resulting from the distortion of the urban food system. It has inhibited food choices and access for urban residents due to restrictions imposed on movement and human interactions. In Nigeria, the majority is in the informal economy who depend on the daily income for everyday needs, including food. This study, therefore, establishes specific knowledge links between COVID-19 and the urban food system. Also, it reviewed the impacts of adopted safety protocols and government policies during the COVID-19 pandemic on the Nigerian urban food supply system vis-a-vis state and non-state interventions to provide palliatives for the urban poor and vulnerable groups. The paper concluded that Nigeria has not adequately built a resilient strategy for eventualities, such as the COVID-19 emergency. Also, all measures instituted at different levels of government towards strengthening the urban food system during the pandemic were grossly inadequate as they could barely serve a fraction of the urban vulnerable. Therefore, the paper suggests a holistic policy review towards promoting resilience in the urban food system to withstand future emergencies.

尼日利亚 COVID-19 与城市食品系统之间的具体知识联系

摘要

COVID-19 大流行给尼日利亚社会带来了各种后果的重大不利影响,特别是在城市粮食系统扭曲导致的饥饿状况恶化方面。由于对行动和人际交往的限制,它限制了城市居民的食物选择和获取途径。在尼日利亚,大多数人从事非正规经济,他们依靠每日收入来满足日常需求,包括食物。因此,这项研究在 COVID-19 和城市食品系统之间建立了特定的知识联系。此外,它还审查了在 COVID-19 大流行期间采用的安全协议和政府政策对尼日利亚城市食品供应系统的影响,以及为城市贫困和弱势群体提供姑息治疗的国家和非国家干预措施。该论文得出的结论是,尼日利亚尚未为应对 COVID-19 紧急情况等不测事件充分制定有弹性的战略。此外,在大流行期间,各级政府为加强城市食品系统而采取的所有措施都严重不足,因为它们几乎无法为一小部分城市弱势群体提供服务。因此,该文件建议进行全面的政策审查,以提高城市粮食系统的抵御能力,以抵御未来的紧急情况。
