Alongside the dramatic impact on health systems, eating, shopping, and other food-related habits may have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. This paper analyses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food shopping habits and food-related activities of a diverse sample of 340 adult consumers in Morocco. The study is based on an online survey conducted in Morocco from September 15 to November 5, 2020, utilizing a standardized questionnaire delivered in French and Arabic via Survey Monkey. The findings show that consumers' diet, shopping behavior, and food interactions have changed significantly. Indeed, the survey outcomes indicated (i) an increase in the consumption of local items owing to food safety concerns; (ii) an increase in online grocery shopping; (iii) a rise in panic buying and food hoarding; and (iv) an increase in culinary capabilities. The findings are expected to help guide Morocco's current emergency measures as well as long-term food-related policies.
除了对卫生系统产生巨大影响外，饮食、购物及其他与食物相关的习惯可能也受到了新冠疫情危机的影响。本文分析了新冠疫情对摩洛哥340名成年消费者的多样化样本的食品购物习惯及与食物相关活动的影响。该研究基于2020年9月15日至11月5日在摩洛哥进行的一项在线调查，使用通过Survey Monkey以法语和阿拉伯语提供的标准化问卷。研究结果表明，消费者的饮食、购物行为和食物互动发生了显著变化。事实上，调查结果显示：（i）由于食品安全担忧，本地食品的消费量增加；（ii）在线食品杂货购物量增加；（iii）恐慌性购买和食物囤积现象增多；（iv）烹饪能力有所提高。这些研究结果有望为摩洛哥当前的紧急措施以及长期的食品相关政策提供指导。
