PresentationCities and Local Governments at the forefront - Key results from the FAO Survey “Urban Food Systems and COVID-19”
FAO Webinar presentation - Urban Food Systems and COVID-19 Key results from a FAO Global Survey - 29 July 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting urban food systems worldwide, affecting the food security and nutrition of urban populations. It was consequently deemed very important for FAO to map the municipal responses to the emergency, and to analyze progress and setbacks in managing disruptions in the urban food systems and related implications for food security and nutrition. In an effort to better understand how city and local governments faced the challenges of food systems disruptions associated with COVID-19, information was collected through a survey of relevant stakeholders. The survey questionnaire was administered between April and May 2020 . 860 urban actors returned the completed questionnaire, 56% of which were members of local governments while the rest of the respondents were members of academic institutions, non-governmental organizations and national governments. This presentation shows the main results of this survey. -
Policy briefThe impacts of COVID-19 and policy responses in rural economies - Findings from a local-economy general equilibrium modelling study
Brief
2022Also available in:
No results found.The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and government policies to limit its spread are multi-faceted and complex. Market linkages transmit these impacts through economies, from directly affected actors to others in both the urban and rural spheres. Economic contexts, including the structure of local economies, shape the transmission of impacts on rural men and women. Because of this, the pandemic, lockdowns, and mitigation policies influence outcomes in complex ways. In most cases, the magnitudes and even the signs of impacts cannot be determined ex ante. In this study, we use multiple local economy-wide impact evaluation (LEWIE) models to estimate the impacts of the pandemic and lockdowns on rural producers and households in a diversity of economic and agro-climatic settings, using simulation methods. We also examine the likely effects of alternative migitation measures. -
