This has resulted in a massive global economy impact and food insecurity in both developed and developing countries. Due to COVID-19, it has significantly impacted the food availability, prices, export costs, and food quality in several countries and caused food supply chain to be substantially affecting numerous households in obtaining fresh and nutrient dense food.
