❖ How has COVID-19 affected global food sustainability?

• Due to the existence of COVID-19, the sustainability of food in the whole world
got affected by closing all the food transactions to avoid the spread of COVID-19,
which led to the increase in the rate of hunger all around the world. All businesses,
like restaurants, markets, and other factories, are forced to close on the grounds
that the number of COVID-19 cases may increase. That is why many people lose
their jobs and the source of income for their food sustainability. All businesses,
including restaurants, markets, and factories, have been forced to close due to the
possibility of an increase in COVID-19 cases. As a result, many people lose their
jobs and sources of income for food security. As a result, the rate of malnutrition
in the Philippines rises due to hunger, as all families lack a source of income and
rely solely on government assistance.

❖ Basing from the video, briefly discuss the relationship of food security and nutrition.

• In terms of importance, food security and nutrition are inextricably linked. Without
improved food security, the global rate of hunger and malnutrition will rise. If food
security improves, all people around the world will benefit from a better supply of
food for nutrition. The rate of nutrition depends on food security. That is why they
are both linked with each other and very important to all people.

❖ Among the 5 global challenges of food security (refer to module), select ONE of these
causes you think affects most the Philippines? Why?

• For me, population growth is one of the main reasons that affects food security here in the
Philippines. There are more people to feed as the population increases. There are fewer
resources available to satisfy basic needs as the population increases, particularly in
developing nations with scarce land and water resources. The world's population is
growing as well-off people live longer and demand more food, particularly meat and dairy,
which require more resources to produce.
