The COVID-19 pandemic is jeopardizing human health and disrupting the food systems that are the foundations of health. Unless we take immediate action, we risk a global food emergency that could have long-term impacts on hundreds of millions of children and adults.

FAO’s is calling for USD 1.3 billion in initial investments to provide an agile and coordinated global response to ensure nutritious food for all both during and after the pandemic.

The COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme enables donors to leverage the Organization’s convening power, real-time data, early warning systems and technical expertise to direct support where and when it is needed most. Together, we can help the world’s most vulnerable, prevent further crises, increase resilience to shocks, and accelerate the rebuilding and sustainable transformation of our food systems.
