Abstract
Across the world, the COVID19 pandemic has had a huge impact on food and nutrition security. Efforts to satisfy Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 on Zero Hunger are stalled, and it's estimated that a further 137 million people faced acute food insecurity as 2020 ended. The reasons are many: interrupted food supply chains, high levels of unemployment, loss of incomes, and rising food cost. Climate change and thus the resultant extreme weather events have magnified the challenges. This brief involves strategic action to create resilient food systems amidst the pandemic
