干旱和大流行病分别造成全球粮食供应链中断。21世纪，自然灾害和人为灾害频繁发生，包括干旱和流行病。它们的影响加在一起可能会加剧，导致严重的经济压力和营养不良，特别是在发展中国家。了解干旱和流行病如何相互作用，并确定适当的政策来共同或单独解决这些问题，对于保持强劲的全球粮食供应至关重要。在此，我们评估了这些灾害中的每一种灾害对粮食和农业的影响，然后讨论了它们的复合影响。我们讨论了政策的影响，并建议未来的研究机会。(C)2020爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Individually, both droughts and pandemics cause disruptions to global food supply chains. The 21st century has seen the frequent occurrence of both natural and human disasters, including droughts and pandemics. Together their impacts can be compounded, leading to severe economic stress and malnutrition, particularly in developing countries. Understanding how droughts and pandemics interact, and identifying appropriate policies to address them together and separately, is important for maintaining a robust global food supply. Herein we assess the impacts of each of these disasters in the context of food and agriculture, and then discuss their compounded effect. We discuss the implications for policy, and suggest opportunities for future research. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
