The COVID-19 pandemic occurs worldwide and is the second pandemic to be declared as a global pandemic after the avian influenza pandemic. Individual and household coping strategies are essential when dealing with such a crisis. This systematic literature review synthesizes published evidence on coping mechanisms and food security in pandemic situations and looks at future research directions based on the gaps found. The number of publications on coping strategies and food security has increased over time, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. This topic interestresearcher and academics from various countries and disciplines. Data analysis was carried out using the endnote X9 version following the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). The data was collected from the Proquest, Ebscohost, and Scopus databases. This review’s result is that most publications are in the 2019-2022 timeframe, area of health sciences, quantitative methods, empirical data, and individual case studies. The following review is an analysis based on the research context divided based on sub-criteria: pandemic impact, the main outcome, geographic location, economic development, and basic theory. The findings show that the impact of the pandemic that has been widely studied is about environmental quality and socioeconomic impact; no mention of theory; food security; in Asia; high-income and low-income countries; with the aim of policy development. The next review analyzes the main outcomes of food security and coping strategies. Based on this review, the most studied dimension of food security is accessibility using the HFIAS instrument and cross-sectional survey research design. Furthermore, there are fewpublications on utility and stability dimensions, especially the relationship between the four dimensions of food security, availability, accessibility, utility, and stability, qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, publications regarding the relationship between food security from its four dimensions and coping strategies both qualitatively and quantitatively are also very limited. These findings create opportunities for future researchers to study them.

“…Notably, Henneman (1968) sees the opposite path in France, that concessions made in the aftermath of the Plague to maintain royal finances set that crown on an irreversible path of structural economic problems. Similarly, Langer (1975) asserted that the Plague tipped Russia into long-term serfdom, as population loss and recovery from the Golden Horde combined to make forced labor preferable, encoded, and the norm. This is not the collapse of one stable equilibrium and the gradual shift toward another stable equilibrium.…”

Building resilience to major economic, social, and ecological crises such as armed conflict and natural disasters is seen as critical to maintaining system integrity. Although studies of system survival can be used to gauge whether or not social systems are resilient, this can only be conducted in retrospect. Contemporary measures of resilience rely on proxy measures that one can argue build capacity for resilience, but are not direct proxies for resilience itself, except in highly subscribed conditions. This leads us to our key research questions: Can the resilience of a system be measured contemporaneously by those within a social system? What can we learn from past efforts to understand the resilience of social systems by those living through their transformations? To answer these we examine Europe in the second half of the 14th century, during the outbreak and spread of the Plague through the continent. Through an examination of academic research relying on contemporary accounts during this period, we examine the indicators Europeans used at the time to understand changes in their social-ecological systems. We find a time lag between quantitative indicators of system resilience and the systemic shocks introduced by the Plague. However, narratives from the time suggest that those who experienced the epidemic were trying to develop personal understandings of the social changes around them and collective understandings of how to respond to these crises, both in advance of collecting easily comparable data that could be used for broader administrative purposes. The progression from individual narratives, to common understandings, and finally to comparable data is likely a common process that occurs as those within a social-ecological system make sense of a shift of the system from one arrangement to another.

“…By now, it has become commonplace to study three discrete pandemics: the First Pandemic, known as the Justinianic Plague and its recurrent waves (541-c.750); the Second Pandemic, known as the Black Death (1346-53) and its recurrent waves that continued for several centuries; and the Third Pandemic that spread globally in a few years after its appearance in Hong Kong in 1894. 8 Although the idea that the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death were two separate waves of epidemic Hrabak 1957;Krekic 1963;Langer 1975;Dols 1977;Norris 1977;Alexander 1980;Schamiloglu 1993;Ansari 1994;Kōstēs 1995;Manolova-Nikolova 2004;Anandavalli 2007;Stearns 2009 andFrandsen 2010;Buell 2012.

She studies the early modern history of medicine, epidemic diseases, and the rise of public health in the Mediterranean world. She is the author of several articles and her first book, entitled Plague and Empire in the Early Modern Mediterranean World: The Ottoman Experience, 1347-1600, is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. She is also editing a collection of articles entitled Plague and Contagion in the Islamic Mediterranean (contracted by Ashgate Press). In conjunction with this research, she teaches courses on epidemic diseases in world history, with a particular focus on plague. In her teaching, she incorporates research findings from bioarcheology, genetics, and climate history. She is the recipient of an NEH Fellowship for study at the American Research Institute in Turkey, a Senior Fellowship from Koç University's Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations, and a Turkish Cultural Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship. She holds a PhD from the University of Chicago.
