Global Agencies head warned Upcoming major food disaster in the world or we can say a food shortage. The world can face this situation if the authorities fail to manage it.

If we think about why is it so, there is a reason for the COVID-19 crisis because the Government of every country in the world has put their population on lockdown. That is a result of a severe crisis in food shortage or supply chains causing the severe slowdowns in international trade. There are some factors that make this issue in a very early position as People are buying the foods or other things in large quantities that will be the reason for food shortages. That has already demonstrated the fragility of food supply chains as the supermarket shelves emptied in the country.

Food and agricultural organization of the United Nations that leads the international efforts to defeat hunger, Improve agriculture and fisheries, Forestry and ensures Giving good nutrition.

FAO  head announces that due to the uncertainty of food shortage restrictions in the export field. So we don’t need to panic to buy all the food items in large quantities because it will be a great cause for the shortage of it. We should avoid such things or activities. There should be some measures to stop such things and we can start some new efforts to stop such things. Food is the primary concern for every person in the world however lockdown is going on. 

The WTO and WHO also has the same concerns about food security. We all know about the COVID-19 crisis. In the between of COVID-19 lockdown, Every effort must be made to ensure that trade flows as freely as possible.

Countries are in the process of a health protection system and securing the food shortage. we should avoid the food shortage.

A number of highly affected countries did not experience the intensity of this pandemic disease COVID-19. but these countries were affected many times due to the food crisis for other reasons. 

COVID-19 disease is putting large stress on public health systems around the world. We know that millions of people around the world are in some form of quarantine and nobody is safe from it. The human toll will be high and that efforts to turn the tide over carrying heavy economic cost. To solve this situation of an even greater toll shortage of food for millions of people of the world immediate actions to minimize Collapses to food supply chains Food crisis is the current global crisis which is caused by high food prices caused by poor growing conditions and the rising cost of fuels and it is also related to the changing supply and demand measures of foodstuffs so it is so-called a crisis. The country solves out every solution year by year in which we faced this type of crisis but today the food crisis due to the coronavirus.COVID-19 has been spread around the world and affected many people. We need global coordination and immediate response to prevent this Public Health crisis from the shortage of food crisis in which people cannot find or eat food as we can say the food crisis needs immediate actions.

Steps Forward

As per the above, we should all learn from our recent past history report and don’t make the same mistakes twice. While every country faces its own challenges, coordination between the Government and the Full Scale of sectors and skate holders is of high priority. Currently, we are facing a global problem that needs a Global Response.

We must ensure that every food market is functioning properly and the food prices information on their production, consumptions, and stocks of food is available or not to all in real-time.

These steps will reduce shortages and allow the producers, consumers, traders, and processes to make informed decisions, and the first important thing to contain unwarranted panic behavior in the global food market.

Some of the poorest countries are still unknown about the health Influence of the unfolding pandemic disease. Still, we can say with the positive that any ensuring food prices as a result of poor policy-making will be a humanitarian disaster that we can avoid.

Firmly COVID-19 Recall us that  Coordination is not a charity but it is common sense.
