Impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on household diet diversity in rural Bihar, India: a longitudinal survey

Sandra M. Travasso et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess changes in household diet diversity and food consumption in rural Bihar, India, between the pre-COVID-19 period and during the lockdown. The results showed that low diet diversity increased during the lockdown, with reduced consumption of nutrient-rich foods. Socio-economically vulnerable households, such as those with lower social status and without government support, were more likely to have low diet diversity. Therefore, sustained government support is needed to ensure diet diversity in rural communities during crises like COVID-19.

The impact of COVID-19 on diet quality, food security and nutrition in low and middle income countries: A systematic review of the evidence

Fiorella Picchioni et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and its containment measures have negatively affected diet quality and food security, particularly through their impact on employment, income generating activities, and purchasing power. The physical access, availability, and affordability of food have also been influenced heterogeneously. Shorter value chains and traditional smallholder farms have shown greater resilience during the pandemic. Women, individuals with a low socio-economic status, informal workers, and young adults relying on daily wages are the most vulnerable to food insecurity.
