The coronavirus pandemic has had a strong impact on people in different aspects of their health and their daily lives. Many of these are beginning to study gradually and it is considered that much time should be expected to have accurate data regarding all the effects it has had on people.
However, on this occasion, we must strive for the impact it has had on people's food. Therefore, Elvira Vidal Dinares tells about poor nutrition as a result of the health emergency.
The pandemic and the difficulty of accessing healthy foods, according to Elvira Vidal Dinares
According to Elvira Vidal Dinares, during the pandemic, different dynamics have emerged that have affected food systems and the food security of people around the world. These include loss of income and livelihoods to sustain adequate food, disruptions and disruptions in food supply chains, disruptions in social protection programmes, increased social inequalities, uneven food prices in localized contexts, among other things.
On the basis of the world-wide confinement measures, there were, especially during 2020 and part of 2021, various alterations in the food supply chain. This has significantly affected the availability of food at different locations, as well as the quality of food and the prices of food. Furthermore, the closure of food services such as restaurants significantly reduced the demand for perishable food. This led many of these to be disposed of, especially in contexts where there was no availability for proper storage.
Also, explains Elvira Vidal Dinares, there have been disturbances in food supply chains due to illness in the food system workers who presented high rates of contagion, leading to the closure of processing facilities, delays in production, among other things, leading to lower availability of diverse food on the market.

Economic crisis and difficulty in food security
Elvira Vidal Dinares explains that it is necessary to look at the global economic recession caused by the pandemic. This has led to huge losses in the world ' s livelihoods, leading to a sharp fall in the purchasing power of many people across the globe, including many cases where sources of income were directly lost.
In this context, this loss of income has led to the impact of food security and, therefore, the nutrition of populations, especially in cases of populations already vulnerable. This is the case of workers in the informal economy, who were among the most affected in the world because of the difficulty in carrying out their activities in the context of isolation and the lack of State protection of them in many cases.
According to the World Food Programme, it has been estimated that the number of people who began to cope with acute hunger as a result of the crisis stood at twice the 135 million people who already suffered it before the pandemic. In addition, the decline of 71 to 100 million people in extreme poverty was estimated as a result of the pandemic by the end of 2020.
The food of young people and adolescents according to Elvira Vidal Dinares
In addition to the above-mentioned aspects, Elvira Vidal Dinares explains that various polls have been conducted regarding how the feeding of young people and adolescents was. According to Unicef, in the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, two of the main barriers to accessing healthy foods were the lowest level of income to buy them and the fear of contracting the virus.
But, in addition, in cases where there has been no dramatic fall in the possibilities of access to food, what has been seen is an important increase in the consumption of snacks and sweets, sugary drinks, fast meals, as well as a reduction in the consumption of water and fruits and vegetables.
