Recently, the food supply chain (FSC) has been severely disrupted due to COVID-19 pandemic, putting vital flow of products from farmers and producers ultimate consumers at risk. Furthermore, several organizations have prompted rethink their strategies for future. Although literature on FSC research in era is increasing, no attempt made summarize this stream using bibliometric techniques. This paper fills knowledge gap looks current scholarly discourse around COVID-19. Applying techniques, 287 journal articles were extracted Scopus analyzed determine temporal evolution research, most productive journals, researchers, countries, relevant keywords publications. To construct a keyword co-occurrence network categorize literature, we used computer program VOSviewer. The findings demonstrate rapid expansion during pandemic. In addition, top authors, publications, nations scientific output also determined. Keyword detailed qualitative analysis both illustrate that revolves six main themes: impact agriculture, resilience, waste insecurity, fisheries aquaculture, blockchain technology, governance innovation. study represents first effort map worldwide draw comprehensive collection approaches.

European Food Systems in a Regional Perspective: A Comparative Study of the Effect of COVID-19 on Households and City-Region Food Systems

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 6

Published: April 14, 2022

The concept of the city-region food system is gaining attention due to need improve availability, quality and environmental benefits, for example through sustainable agri-food strategies. COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced importance coherent inclusive governance, especially regarding resilience, vulnerability justice. Given that evidence from good practices relatively sparse, it important better understand role different types cities, regions household characteristics. paper's aim describe, analyze attempt explain (sub-national) regional variations behavior before during first wave in 2020 using a perspective. Informed by literature, comprehensive survey data 12 countries across Europe used describe pre-pandemic landscape behaviors comparable types. We examine how specific economic social shock can disrupt this implications systems policies. Conclusions include huge disruptions imposed on income-weak households small city scale most resilient. Proposals are made strengthen European resilience sustainability, given future shocks highly likely.

This study aimed to explore changes FPPs French households during associations with individual environmental factors.In April 2020 from Mont'Panier cross-sectional (n = 306), quota sampling survey conducted south France, were asked complete an online questionnaire about related factors, including perceived FE (distance closest general store, perception increased prices, etc.). Objective (presence, number, proximity, density outlets) assessed around participant's home using geographical information system. Multiple correspondence analysis based on frequency use quantity purchased by outlet, followed hierarchical cluster analysis, resulted identification clusters. Logistic regression models performed assess identified clusters household's sociodemographic characteristics, perceived, objective FE.Five identified. Cluster "Supermarket" (38% total sample), which reduced trips, but bought supermarkets lockdown, associated lower incomes prices.
