To assess the potential impact of COVID-19 on food and nutrition security in South Africa.
Analyzed historical data from previous global outbreaks like SARS and MERS.
Investigated the unique trajectory of COVID-19 and its influence on food systems.
COVID-19 will likely disrupt food systems in South Africa, affecting both food availability and accessibility.
Long-term effects on nutrition security are anticipated, similar to past outbreaks.

Implication

Explores the impact of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition in South Africa, suggesting potential long-term effects.

Abstract

Major global outbreaks, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), had a heavy impact on food and nutrition security in the affected countries. While the long-term effects on countries' food systems will depend largely on the unique course of COVID-19, this pandemic will be no exception.
