Food insecure households faced greater challenges putting healthy food on the table during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia

Katherine Kent et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a disproportionate impact on food insecure households in Tasmania, Australia, affecting their food access, availability, and consumption. This study found that food insecure households were more likely to consume less fresh food, face difficulties in accessing shops, have less money available for food, experience food unavailability, and have insufficient food stored at home. The findings highlight the importance of addressing the specific challenges faced by food insecure households during the pandemic.

Viewpoint: The case for a six-dimensional food security framework

Jennifer Clapp et al.

Summary: This article argues for updating the definition of food security to include two additional dimensions proposed by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition: agency and sustainability. The article also shows that international policy guidance on the right to food already implies these dimensions, making it logical to adopt a six-dimensional framework for food security in policy and scholarly settings.

Katherine Kent et al.

Summary: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, rural-dwelling people in high-income countries faced greater challenges accessing healthy food compared to urban dwellers. The pandemic has affected food supplies globally and changed the way people shop for food, potentially worsening food insecurity. This systematic review synthesized the evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity in rural populations in high-income countries and found higher prevalence of food insecurity and lower food availability and access in rural regions.
