Abstract

This powerful statement opens the report: “We won’t go back to normality, because normality was the problem”. The report, authored by Jessica Duncan and Priscilla Claeys, truly imbibes this statement in its ethos, approach, policy recommendations and structure. The report draws on six cross-cutting principles to guide policies and programmes in relation to gender, COVID-19 and food systems. These are participation and representation; human rights; non-discrimination and intersectionality; food sovereignty; feminism and gender justice; and equality and equity. On the basis of these principles a number of key policy demands are formulated in four thematic areas, of economic activities, markets and access to resources; care work, public health and gender-based violence; participation, representation and digital equity; and government responses and social protection.
