The current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the entire food system. Restrictions on travel within countries and across national borders hinder logistics services, disrupt supply chains and affect food availability. The impacts on the movement of labor and supply of inputs pose critical challenges to agricultural production, jeopardizing nutritional security for all, especially those living in the poorest countries.

In this APO Productivity Talk, Vijay Sardana explains how food security could be ensured in the face of major challenges and suggests priorities for policymakers in the Asia-Pacific.
