The Covid-19 pandemic has led to severe food insecurity with impacts on households expected to continue into 2022. Across the Indo-Pacific we need to understand how the Covid-19 pandemic, especially the 2021 Delta wave, affected different communities responsible for food production and market sales. Small scale farming and vendor enterprises, often led by women, are vital for community-level food security and resilience. The Australian Centre for International Agriculture Research is funding this research into the gendered impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on small scale farmers and vendors in the Indo-Pacific with the Griffith University Agribusiness research program and the Gender and Covid-19 Research Group.
