ABSTRACT

Agriculture is essential in human life. However, the COVID pandemic highlighted deficiencies in the way the current system runs nationally and worldwide. The impacts of the crisis in agriculture are related to the supply chain and demand issues. The vulnerability of the system requires a transformation of the agro-food system, with more innovative and sustainable approaches, such as applying the agroecology principles, agrotechnologies, and promoting urban agriculture. It is essential to support local consumption to promote social welfare by investing in infrastructure and technology to produce high-quality food. This work aims to know the problem in the perception of the society around us to generate a dialogue on the issue. The agro-food system concerns us all equally, and we should participate actively either as individuals or in working groups. Furthermore, for the action to be fruitful, we should start to reflect on it and act accordingly.
