During the COVID crisis, the incidence of food insecurity worsened around the globe. We were reminded that: food insecurity existed before COVID, worsened during this crisis, and will unfortunately be a persistent phenomenon in the post-COVID world. It is evident that to counter this public health threat, systematic changes will need to happen. In this short communication, we introduce the notion of a systems-oriented framework that can guide appropriate actions for us to disrupt future food insecurity crises.
This short communication identifies preliminary observations based on relevant past studies that documented the impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity, and the researchers' conceptualization of a framework on how we may address future crisis-driven food insecurity challenges.
Systems-oriented framework was conceptualized based on preliminary observations in studies that investigated food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This short communication explores the notion of a systems-oriented framework as a guide to future action to prevent crisis-driven food insecurity.
The systems-oriented framework emphasizes the importance of action across macro, meso, and micro levels, and synchronization to maximize synergies.
在 COVID 危机期间，全球范围内的粮食不安全问题恶化。我们意识到：粮食不安全问题在 COVID 之前就已经存在，在这场危机期间恶化了，而且不幸的是，它将成为 COVID 后世界的一个持续存在的现象。显然，要应对这一公共卫生威胁，需要进行系统性的变革。在这篇简短的交流中，我们引入了一个系统导向框架的概念，该框架可以指导我们采取适当的行动，以打破未来的粮食不安全危机。
本简短交流基于过去相关研究中记录 COVID-19 对粮食不安全影响的初步观察结果，以及研究人员关于我们如何应对未来危机驱动的粮食不安全挑战的框架概念。
基于研究中关于 COVID-19 大流行期间粮食不安全问题的初步观察结果，提出了系统导向框架的概念。
本简短交流探讨了系统导向框架作为预防危机驱动的粮食不安全未来行动指南的概念。
系统导向框架强调了在宏观、中观和微观层面采取行动的重要性，并强调了同步化以最大化协同作用。
