COVID-19大流行在全球范围内危及粮食安全，对最弱势群体（包括小农以及农村和土著人口）的威胁加剧。在印度贾坎德Santhal、Munda和Sauria Paharia土著社区的脆弱小农家庭中，进行了一系列横断面研究，以记录COVID-19大流行对粮食环境、农业实践、饮食和粮食安全的影响，沿着粮食系统复原力的潜在决定因素。电话住户调查分两个阶段进行，在封锁和解除封锁阶段，评估疫情对粮食系统和农业做法的影响。在解锁阶段进行了市场调查，以了解对当地非正规市场的影响。还审查了关于州和地区一级粮食生产和政府粮食安全方案的二级数据。就数据分析而言，本集团已制定概念框架，概述2019冠状病毒病疫情对食物环境、食物安全及食物消费模式的可能影响途径沿着可能提供复原力的因素。我们的调查结果显示，由于农场劳动力和物资流动的限制，沿着与大流行和缓解措施相关的食品供应链和其他食品相关物流和服务的中断，对所有三个社区的粮食生产和获取产生了不利影响。疫情对三个原住民社区的生计和收入造成重大影响，原因是农产品的销售减少、低价贱卖和每日工资劳动机会减少。很大一部分受访者还经历了饮食摄入模式的变化。确定了恢复力的关键决定因素;这些因素包括获得农业投入，如土著种子，由于回移和获得不同的食物环境，特别是野生食物环境，家庭一级的劳动力。有必要制定方案和采取干预措施，保护和振兴这些脆弱土著社区现有的生物文化资源，建立依赖较短粮食供应链的有复原力的粮食系统，利用土著知识体系和相关资源，从而为所有人支持健康、公平和可持续的粮食系统。
The COVID-19 pandemic has globally jeopardized food security, with heightened threats for the most vulnerable including smallholder farmers as well as rural, indigenous populations. A serial cross-sectional study was conducted to document effect of COVID-19 pandemic on food environment, agricultural practices, diets and food security, along with potential determinants of food systems resilience, among vulnerable smallholder farmer households in indigenous communities of Santhal, Munda, and Sauria Paharia of Jharkhand state, India. Telephonic household surveys were conducted in two phases i.e., lockdown and unlock phase to assess the impact of the pandemic on their food systems and agricultural practices. Market surveys were conducted during the unlock phase, to understand the impact on local informal markets. Secondary data on state and district level food production and Government food security programs were also reviewed. For data analysis purpose, a conceptual framework was developed which delineated possible pathways of impact of COVID-19 pandemic on food environment, food security and food consumption patterns along with factors that may offer resilience. Our findings revealed adverse effects on food production and access among all three communities, due to restrictions in movement of farm labor and supplies, along with disruptions in food supply chains and other food-related logistics and services associated with the pandemic and mitigation measures. The pandemic significantly impacted the livelihoods and incomes among all three indigenous communities during both lockdown and unlock phases, which were attributed to a reduction in sale of agricultural produce, distress selling at lower prices and reduced opportunity for daily wage laboring. A significant proportion of respondents also experienced changes in dietary intake patterns. Key determinants of resilience were identified; these included accessibility to agricultural inputs like indigenous seeds, labor available at household level due to back migration and access to diverse food environments, specifically the wild food environment. There is a need for programs and interventions to conserve and revitalize the bio-cultural resources available within these vulnerable indigenous communities and build resilient food systems that depend on shorter food supply chains and utilize indigenous knowledge systems and associated resources, thereby supporting healthy, equitable and sustainable food systems for all.
