“…COVID-19 has directly and severely affected the employees and workers in this sector [ 111 ]. Omidiji et al [ 112 ] stated that the COVID-19 virus increases the vulnerability of people from disadvantaged classes, especially in informal settlements and slums. Due to the significant rural population in the northeastern counties of Khuzestan province, the level of social vulnerability has increased since villagers in the province face worse conditions in terms of employment, access to services and facilities, and exposure to hazards (especially natural hazards).…”

A growing body of evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic affected not only the functioning of food supply chains but also the performance and outcomes of agri-food systems. In this context, this paper analyses the scholarly literature dealing with the impacts of the pandemic on West African agriculture and food systems. A search carried out on the Web of Science in March 2023 returned 176 records and 87 eligible documents were included in the systematic review. The bibliometric analysis suggests a decreasing interest in the research field. Moreover, a large share of the eligible articles are authored by researchers based outside West Africa. There is a research gap, especially in Cabo Verde, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Niger and Togo. Studies focus on the crop production subsector and consumption stage. The pandemic affected all four dimensions/pillars of food security (viz. availability, access, utilisation/use, and stability). However, most of the analysed documents focus on food access (economic accessibility and physical accessibility). Moreover, COVID-19 affected all the dimensions of agri-food systems (viz. environmental, economic, social, and political) but the analysed articles focus on the pandemic’s socio-economic impacts, especially those relating to food security and health. The promotion of research on the impacts of the pandemic on agri-food systems in West Africa is paramount to designing the evidence-based policies needed to improve the preparedness of the region for current and future crises and shocks.

“…Simultaneously, health vulnerabilities also emerge, affecting the workers, women and their children. These vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has far-reaching consequences on various aspects of life, including health, social interactions, economic stability, and political policies, not only in Indonesia but across the globe (Hellmann et al, 2021;Huang et al, 2023;Omidiji et al, 2022;Sarfraz et al, 2022;Susilo, Putranto, et al, 2021).…”

This article focuses on social capital, a means for women working in the putting-out system sector to rise from adversity during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study explains that the pandemic has had a significant impact on the socioeconomic activities of women workers in Kalirungkut, Surabaya. This study aims to analyse working women who experience social downturns to get back up with the social capital they have. This qualitative research uses a non-positivistic paradigm but an interpretive approach through observation and in-depth interviews involving informants exposed to COVID-19. This study found four categories: helping behaviour as an act of humanitarian solidarity; reforestation and vegetable planting movement; networks for physical and social health services; and strengthening the economy. The researchers concluded that the social capital possessed by women workers in the putting-out system increased women's enthusiasm to rise from adversity during the Covid-19 pandemic.
