“…Observed associations between sociodemographic characteristics and reported food insecurity were similar to those found in previous studies conducted in the U.S. 22 Our results add to the literature indicating an increase in food insecurity among urban AIAN populations since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. 23,24 While slightly lower than the 50% food insecurity reported in the February 2021 survey conducted by the Native American Agriculture Fund, the experience of food insecurity was high in the study sample. 25 Notably, among participants whose food security status likely did not change due to the onset of the pandemic, only 25% of participants reported being food insecure, compared to 38% for the overall sample, suggesting a substantial increase since the onset of the pandemic.…”

“…One study conducted in the Blackfeet Indian Tribal Community found that 79% of survey respondents indicated some degree of food insecurity over a 4-month period in late 2020. 23 , 24 Similarly, few studies have examined associations between food insecurity and COVID-19 infection or vaccine uptake. However, our findings that food insecurity was not associated with COVID-19 infection or vaccination, differ from prior research among other populations.…”

Background Food insecurity is an important social determinant of health that was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both food insecurity and COVID-19 infection disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minority groups, particularly American Indian and Alaska Native communities; however, there is little evidence as to whether food insecurity is associated with COVID-19 infection or COVID-19 preventive behaviors such as vaccination uptake. The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between food insecurity, COVID-19 infection, and vaccination status among urban American Indian and Alaska Native adults seen at 5 clinics serving urban Native people. Methods In partnership with health organizations in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, and New Mexico, the study team conducted a cross-sectional survey in 2021 to assess food security status and attitudes, barriers, and facilitators for COVID-19 testing and vaccination. Logistic regression was used to examine the association of food security status with sociodemographic factors and COVID-19 infection and vaccination status. Marginal standardization was applied to present results as prevalence differences. Results Among 730 American Indian and Alaska Native adults, the prevalence of food insecurity measured during the pandemic was 38%. For participants who reported persistent food security status before and during the pandemic (n=588), the prevalence of food insecurity was 25%. Prevalence of COVID-19 infection and vaccination did not vary by food security status after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions High rates of food insecurity among American Indian and Alaska Native communities likely increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the high prevalence of food insecurity, community-led efforts to reduce COVID-19 infection and increase vaccination uptake across Indian Health Service and Tribal healthcare facilities may have mitigated the negative impacts of the pandemic for families experiencing food insecurity. These successful approaches serve as an important reference for future public health efforts that require innovative strategies to improve overall health in AIAN communities.

“…Los altos precios del combustible y los bajos precios del salmón alteraron los negocios indígenas 97 . En general, la escasez de alimentos y los elevados costos durante la pandemia agravaron la inseguridad alimentaria indígena preexistente 97,98,99,100 . Escasez de agua preexistente, como en la Nación Navajo (KM 28.1) 101 , Agencia Crow, Montana 85 y muchas comunidades nativas de Alaska (KM 29.1) 102 limitaron las prácticas de saneamiento e higiene e inhibieron la hidratación y la nutrición (KM 15.2) 101,103,104,105,106 .…”

“…For instance, Nordhagen et al [13] estimates that one in three persons suffers from malnutrition, and one in nine people experiences starvation. These consequences are particularly pronounced in Africa and Asia [14][15][16]. The FSC disruptions and food scarcity directly affect the health and well-being of one-third of the global population.…”

Recently, the food supply chain (FSC) has been severely disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, putting the vital flow of food products from farmers and producers to the ultimate consumers at risk. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, several food organizations have been prompted to rethink their strategies for the future. Although the literature on FSC research in the COVID-19 era is increasing, no attempt has been made to summarize this stream of research using bibliometric techniques. This paper fills this knowledge gap and looks at the current scholarly discourse around the FSC and COVID-19. Applying bibliometric techniques, 287 journal articles were extracted from Scopus and analyzed to determine the temporal evolution of FSC research, the most productive journals, researchers, countries, and the most relevant keywords and publications. To construct a keyword co-occurrence network and categorize the relevant literature, we used the computer program VOSviewer. The findings demonstrate the rapid expansion of FSC research during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the top authors, publications, and nations for scientific output were also determined. Keyword co-occurrence network and detailed qualitative analysis both illustrate that FSC research revolves around six main themes: the impact of COVID-19 on the FSC and agriculture, FSC resilience, food waste and insecurity, fisheries and aquaculture, blockchain technology, and governance and innovation. This study represents the first effort to map worldwide FSC research in the COVID-19 era and draw on a comprehensive collection of journal articles and bibliometric approaches. It offers academics, practitioners, and decision-makers a snapshot of the state of the art in the FSC field and points to where further research is needed.
