Abstract

The research interrogates how the functioning of the food system has changed under Covid-19, along with drivers of these changes, such as regulatory measures. It also aims to identify stakeholders that have benefited and those who have lost out, as well as the kinds of emerging impacts which are being experienced. The study interprets shifts in food flows from a political economy perspective. The workshops include consideration of changes that have affected different forms of social differentiation and related power dynamics, across factors including but not limited to: Social class; Race and perhaps ethnicity; Gender relations; Corporate versus informal and small business; Geography.
