ABSTRACT

COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease. As the pandemic left deep wounds all over the globe, India was able to predict the extent of the socio-economic damage that the pandemic could soon inflict. Due to the contagion of COVID-19, a nationwide lockdown was imposed. COVID-19 has created a threat to our health and also imposed a risk for hunger due to imposed lockdown, which is the only mean of restricting the spread of this virus in the community. People are forced to stay indoors, and many industries and offices are shut down, leaving many migrant and landless workers impoverished, adding to the suffering of job losses and food uncertainty. This article discusses the serious impacts on the agriculture sector and food security.
