Name:
Covid-19 and the UK Food System: Learning Lessons and Building Back Better
Overview:
The published report by the University of Exeter focusses on the impacts and consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic across the UK food system through synthesising the emerging results and findings of the various UKRI- funded Rapid Response Projects, as well as other UK-focused Covid-19 and food system related research projects.
The purpose of the report was to understand how Covid-19 had impacted (and how it was continuing to impact) the UK food system with a view to addressing 2 key questions – what can we learn from Covid-19 for transforming the UK food system and how can lessons from Covid-19 help us to build back a better food system for improved human and environmental health?
The report outlines 6 main takeaway points for future resilience in the food system to external shocks. It looks at the lessons learnt throughout this time within the different sectors, and how these lessons should be incorporated into future research in the food system in order for us to build back better.
