Abstract: Introduction The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agro-food sector included significant effects on existing household food dynamics and tested the resilience of the food system as a whole. The pandemic also negatively affected livelihoods as it resulted in the loss of jobs and, thus, economic hardship (Aday & Aday, 2020). This was especially true in the developing world, where the numbers of vulnerable households were high (World Bank Group, 2022). The study on which this commen­tary is based was conducted in 2022 and focused on assessing the food consumption strategies adopted by households in Ilorin-South Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria, during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. . . .
