世界卫生组织（世卫组织）宣布，冠状病毒病（COVID-19，一般称为“冠状病毒”）爆发为全球大流行，每天都有数千人感染和死亡。本文探讨了2019冠状病毒病大流行危机时代的粮食系统。在讨论COVID-19通过食物链传播的可能性之前，它提供了有关食品和草药生物活性成分特性的见解，以支持人体免疫系统抵御感染。这也凸显了全球三分之一的人口处于封锁状态所带来的全球粮食安全问题。最后，报告强调了食品链可持续性的重要性，以便避免或减少今后发生相关食品和健康危机的频率。
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19, broadly referred to as "coronavirus") a global pandemic, while thousands of infections and deaths are reported daily. The current article explores the food systems in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. It provides insights about the properties of bioactive ingredients of foods and herbs for the support of the human immune system against infections before discussing the possibility of COVID-19 transmission through the food chain. It also highlights the global food security issues arising from the fact that one-third of the world's population is on lockdown. Finally, it underlines the importance of sustainability in the food chain in order to avoid or reduce the frequency of relevant food and health crises in the future.
