本文讨论了贫困和粮食不安全（FI）与COVID-19大流行之间的关系，并提出了在当前流行病背景下，特别是在低收入国家，在与这些条件作斗争时增加社会保障的可能战略和行动。这是一份关于COVID-19、贫困以及粮食和营养不安全的叙述性综述。COVID-19大流行可能会增加贫困和FI水平，原因是缺乏或缺乏维持就业的政治、经济和社会干预措施，以及食品生产和分销链受损，以及世界各地不同国家（特别是社会和经济不平等已经处于历史高位的最贫穷国家）获得健康食品的机会减少;这一流行病加剧并暴露了贫困人口的脆弱性。必须改善和执行以保障适足食物权为重点的公共政策，以保障贫困人口的粮食安全。
This article discusses the relationship between both poverty and food insecurity (FI) and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as presenting possible strategies and actions for increasing social protection in the fight against these conditions in the current epidemiological context, especially for low-income countries. This is a narrative review concerning COVID-19, poverty, and food and nutritional insecurity. The COVID-19 pandemic may increase poverty and FI levels, resulting from the absence of or weak political, economic and social interventions to maintain jobs, as well as compromised food production and distribution chains and reduced access to healthy foods in different countries around the world, especially the poorest ones, where social and economic inequality was already historically high; the pandemic heightens and uncovers the vulnerability of poor populations. Public policies focused on guaranteeing the human right to adequate food must be improved and implemented for populations in contexts of poverty with the aim of providing food security.
