7. As the pandemic roils economies and strains public health systems, the impact is most prominent in vulnerable countries, where fears of a “ hunger pandemic ” are growing. More than half of those with acute food insecurity are in Africa, where conflict, weather events, and pest invasions have already taken a toll. In South Sudan and Yemen, more than half the people were in a food security crisis or worse as defined by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification/Cadre Harmonisé ( IPC/CH ). A Phase 3 food security crisis, on the IPC/CH scale, means households suffer serious malnutrition or can meet basic food needs only by depleting essential assets, which in turn requires urgent humanitarian action. Worse yet are an emergency and catastrophe/famine, Phases 4 and 5 on the scale, respectively..

Global stocks of most staple grains remain adequate, but the pandemic has disrupted food systems already under strain. The United Nations predicts new threats to food security as a result of collapse in demand for internationally produced agri -food products, sellers’ and buyers’ lack of access to small-scale local food markets, and loss of income from remittances and other sources..
