Abstract

The disruption of lives in 2020 has taught us that our global food systems are indeed vulnerable and we need to transition towards a more localised arena for food, where production, consumption and distribution can be more sustainable and resilient. With hunger and obesity both on rise, and food vulnerability issues looming over us due to a disrupted food supply chain, it is time for communities to disallow the commercial form of foodscape and allow community-based food systems to flourish. Localisation of food production, consumption and distribution can help make the food systems more sustainable and resilient.
