The Future of Food after COVID-19 through the Lens of Anthropology

Marco Ginanneschi

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2020, vol. 9, issue 4

Abstract: This commentary uses the lens of anthropology to imagine the consequences of COVID-19 for the food system. It explores the different cultural meanings of food and presents the pandemic as a social phenomenon. All of these elements suggest the possibility of a deep and widespread impact and urge economic actors to consider the broader context.
