COVID-19: Resilience of the UK seafood system to the Covid-19 disruption (RiseUp)

在COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2大流行期间，英国海产品行业面临着前所未有的压力，既要确保国家粮食安全，又要努力适应，以保持社会经济上的可行性。然而，没有数据表明对英国海产品行业的系统性影响、企业采取的适应行动及其对海产品供应的潜在影响。这不利于及时采取措施应对企业目前面临的挑战，并推迟实施改革，以提高英国海产品行业对未来冲击的抵御能力。RiseUP汇集了SAMS、曼彻斯特大学和Seafish的专业知识，探索在系统和业务层面提高弹性的途径，并提供与政策相关的建议和针对利益相关者的建议，以应对挑战。它将收集有关2019冠状病毒病对英国海产品行业影响的证据，企业如何管理这些影响，以及影响如何通过供应网络传播。混合方法结合了通过访谈和调查收集数据；建立行业供应网络模型，探索对其弹性的系统性、尤其是意外后果；以及深入的案例研究，以调查选定行业的商业模式适应性和循环性。该项目将为在压力和不确定性下的决策提供证据，以管理COVID-19的中断。该项目将概述立即采取行动的领域，并告知战略变化，以提高英国海产品行业对未来冲击的抵御能力。RiseUP将有助于了解提高英国海产品系统弹性、可持续性和安全性的途径。

The UK seafood industry is under unprecedented pressure to deliver on national food security during COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, while trying to adapt to remain socio-economically viable. However, no data exists on the systemic impacts to the UK seafood industry, adaptation actions employed by businesses and their potential effects on seafood supply. This compromises the timely adoption of measures to address challenges currently faced by businesses and delays the implementation of changes to increase the UK seafood industry's resilience to future shocks.RiseUP brings together the expertise of SAMS, the University of Manchester and Seafish to explore pathways to increase resilience at the system and business levels and provide policy-relevant recommendations and stakeholder-specific advice to address challenges. It will collect evidence on the impacts of COVID-19 disruption across the UK seafood industry, how these are managed by businesses and how impacts are propagating trough the supply network. A mix-method approach combines data collection through interviews and surveys; modelling of the industry supply network to explore systemic, particularly unintended, consequences to its resilience; and in-depth case studies to investigate business model adaptation and circularity in selected sectors. The project will provide evidence for decision-making under pressure and uncertainty, to manage the COVID-19 disruption. The project will outline areas for immediate action and inform strategic changes to increase the resilience of the UK seafood industry to future shocks. RiseUP will contribute to understanding the routes to increased resilience, sustainability and security of the UK's seafood system.
