“…Despite the expected rise in popularity of alternative food supply chains, which were widely covered in the press during the COVID-19 crisis and spontaneously evoked by involved French consumers during the lockdown (19), our study rather suggests a modest increase in new users of alternative food supply sources such as producers and a persistent dominance of the industrial food system, leading with supermarkets, as the main food supply source for consumers.…”

“…In France, most frequented food outlets during the lockdown were supermarkets and bakeries, with however decreased frequency of use during the lockdown; meanwhile, internet-, phone-, or mail-ordered purchases increased, and frequency of use of local open-air markets reduced drastically due to their closure during the lockdown in cities with more than 20, 000 inhabitants ( 8 ). Meanwhile, short food supply chains appear to have been reassuring citizens during the COVID-19 crisis by promoting food sovereignty and increasing food security ( 18 , 19 ).…”

BackgroundTo limit the spread of COVID-19, a strict lockdown was imposed in France between March and May 2020. Mobility limitations and closure of non-essential public places (restaurants, open-air markets, etc.) affected peoples' food environment (FE) and thus their food purchasing practices (FPPs). This study aimed to explore changes in FPPs of French households during lockdown and associations with individual and environmental factors.MethodsIn April of 2020 households from the Mont'Panier cross-sectional study (n = 306), a quota sampling survey conducted in the south of France, were asked to complete an online questionnaire about their FPPs during lockdown and related factors, including perceived FE (distance to closest general food store, perception of increased food prices, etc.). Objective FE (presence, number, proximity, and density of food outlets) was assessed around participant's home using a geographical information system. Multiple correspondence analysis based on changes in frequency of use and quantity of food purchased by food outlet, followed by a hierarchical cluster analysis, resulted in the identification of clusters. Logistic regression models were performed to assess associations between identified clusters and household's sociodemographic characteristics, perceived, and objective FE.ResultsFive clusters were identified. Cluster “Supermarket” (38% of the total sample), in which households reduced frequency of trips, but increased quantity bought in supermarkets during lockdown, was associated with lower incomes and the perception of increased food prices. Cluster “E-supermarket” (12%), in which households increased online food shopping with pickup at supermarket, was associated with higher incomes. Cluster “Diversified” (22%), made up of households who reduced frequency of trips to diverse food outlet types, was associated with the perception of increased food prices. Cluster “Organic Food Store” (20%), in which households did not change frequency of trips, nor quantity purchased in organic food stores, was associated with being older (35–50 y vs. <35 y). Finally, cluster “Producer” (8%), which includes households who regularly purchased food from producers, but mostly reduced these purchases during lockdown, was associated with the presence of an organic food store within a 1-km walking distance around home.ConclusionThis study highlighted diverse changes in FPPs during lockdown and overall more significant associations with perceived than with objective FE indicators.
