Agriculture sector should be given high priority so that it could generate employment and ensure food security. Policy and investment both will be prioritized.

Thank you Mr Deepak Chaudhary

Of course agriculture is the focal point of nutrition only the things is how can we manage to overcome nutritional related problems

Dairy and agriculture should be focused. Unutlised land space around residential houses shall be developed for growing vegetables and green leaves.

Thank you Nelaturi V Raghavaiah and Sule Akkoyunlu for sharing knowledge

Kabita Maharjan Nationalisation of PDS system is one major reform we can think

Certainly, agriculture is supposed to be the focal point. Communalizing agriculture, promoting agri-business and green house agriculture can make a great difference.

Thank you I agree with John Windie Ansah

Governments of LDCs should develop emergency agricultural policies to prepare for the economic and food stress that is very endemic in the near future. They should work have two-scale program to promote agro business as well as smallholder. Large scale production of corn, millet, rice, beans etc can help reduce the stress of importation in the same way small scale cultivation vegetables can help families to meet their nutrient needs.

International collaboration.

home gardens, school gardens, urban gardening

Local government units are giving seeds as part of the emergency food package for householders to plant and grow

Those found violating curfew hours under the community quarantine are sent to newly developed plots for vegetable farming

Drawdown from grain stocks under rice support systems

Factor in civil society engagement and international collaboration

You may take a look at the recommendations provided by the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) on the impacts of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition. The recommendations cover what is expected of both the global community and various national governments as follows:

1. Just as management of COVID-19 requires a globally coordinated response, so does its impacts on food security. The CFS should take a lead role in coordinating the global food security response in close collaboration with other agencies such as the WHO.

2. Social protection mechanisms for the poorest and most vulnerable people during the COVID-19 crisis need to be employed that incorporate provisions on the Right to Food. These mechanisms should provide essential assistance in the short term and support livelihoods in the long term.

3. When developing action plans for minimizing COVID-19, governments need to take into account the broader interactions with food security and nutrition. Governments should be aware of the competition between resource allocations between public health and food security. Plans will also need to be responsive to the fact that this is a rapidly evolving situation with differentiated impacts on different communities.

4. Governments may need to support food supply chains to ensure that they function smoothly in the face of the crisis in order to stabilize food systems so that they can support food security and nutrition.

5. National governments should encourage local communities and citizens to increase local food production (including home and community gardens), minimize food waste, and refrain from panic buying.

6. Governments should provide advice tailored for food workers involved in food production, handling and processing to help avoid catching and spreading COVID-19.

7. Governments should collect and share data, as well as support research, on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food systems.

8. The CFS should consider its work priorities, including how the HLPE can continue to provide science-based advice on the COVID-19 crisis through its current work on the Global Narrative report.

Hunger in developing countries is a structural issue. Measures to prevent food crisis should be framed around equity. different stakeholders should come together around a social determinant approach to people wellbeing.

We have been talking of diversification for a very long time and the government is not taking it serious.in my own opinion,to tackle the problem of food crisis in the less developed counties. The government should find a way of reaching the poorest of the poor who are mostly in the rural areas.it can also look at agricultural policies and see how agricultural sector can be secured and improved

We Indians have a Mahatma, Father of our nation, Gandhiji, he bekieved that the soul of india is in her villages. He dreamed of self sufficient villages. The Famous book 'Small is Beautiful' by E F Schumacher is based on Gandhiji's ida. Now it is the time for building self sufficient families and villages.We can attain silf sufficiency first in food production. We are able and we know how to cultivate our small pieces of land soon the message will pass on to other parts of the world and then we will see another world order where there is no hunger and no multinationals producing and distributing food grains. Dont wate time start building your familyself sufficient.

If scientists do not reach a vaccine against the Corona pandemic.

The least developed countries will face starvation because most of these countries do not have long-term plans.

The least developed countries always suffer from internal wars.

Increasing evidence indicates that the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19 disease-causing coronavirus) pandemic is currently in a declining phase and may be in decline in a few weeks. However, the economic crisis and the decline in economic growth will last much longer. The economic downturn may have a negative impact on crop production and the production of food products and supply logistics, but these negative recession processes should not last longer. After the end of the pandemic, the economic situation in the agricultural sector and agri-food production, transport logistics and trade in food products should quickly return to equilibrium and the analogous state before the pandemic. In the future, major food crises will occur due to other factors, i.e. primarily as a result of the negative effects of progressive climate change, including the global warming process. The effects of adverse climate change processes are the more frequent and more severe drought in arable fields, forest fires, rapidly decreasing water resources in retention reservoirs, ponds, rivers, etc.
