The COVID-19 pandemic has brought on a global crisis, with impacts an ongoing food security and nutrition, exposing the vulnerabilities of our society. However, it can be a time for reflection and an opportunity to propose and stimulate initiatives that are ready to facilitate resilience within the food system. The food to fork must be shortened and diversified where it is viable and feasible, while made affordable for all societal levels. To face these challengers, the community food systems (CFS) approach has a crucial role, since it copes with relevant principles, including the necessities of low-income societies from areas particularly marginalized from mainstream food systems, of which those land areas also can pose as additional insurance just in case of occurrence of whatever crises. Systematizing the components and contributions of CFS can facilitate the advance of strategies to better deal with crises and increase resilience. Therefore, in this paper, through key elements of CFS, we propose a theoretical framework that can be applied by decision makers as a conceptual guide for combating threats to food systems in neglected territories.
新冠疫情引发了一场全球危机，影响着粮食安全和营养状况，暴露了我们社会的脆弱性。然而，这也可以是一个反思的时刻，是一个提出并推动相关倡议的机会，这些倡议旨在促进粮食系统的恢复力。在可行且切实可行的情况下，从田间到餐桌的路径必须缩短并实现多样化，同时要让所有社会阶层都能负担得起。为应对这些挑战，社区粮食系统（CFS）方法发挥着关键作用，因为它遵循相关原则，包括满足来自特别被主流粮食系统边缘化地区的低收入社会的需求，而这些地区的土地也可以在发生任何危机时提供额外保障。将社区粮食系统的组成部分和贡献系统化，有助于推进相关战略，以更好地应对危机并增强恢复力。因此，在本文中，我们通过社区粮食系统的关键要素，提出了一个理论框架，决策者可将其作为应对被忽视地区粮食系统威胁的概念指南加以应用。
