IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY IN INDIA

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis that is already having devastating impacts on the world economy –
both directly and through necessary measures to contain the spread of the disease. These impacts are also being felt
by the food and agriculture sector. The COVID-19 pandemic likewise raises the caution on the earnest need to change
the world's food frameworks. Around the world, food frameworks stay a driver of environmental change and the
planet's unfurling natural emergency. This emergency can fill in as a defining moment to rebalance and change our
food frameworks, making them more comprehensive, manageable and versatile. As per the International Labor
Organization (ILO), the ascent in joblessness as a result of Covid-19 could be up to 25 million around the world.
