Abstract

The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Food Insecurity looks at food acquisition methods used by food insecure households as well as changes in the time spent shopping for and preparing food at home. We found that most food insecure households experienced a change of income or job after April 2020, and that 42% of our food insecure sample was not low-income prior to the pandemic. Additionally, the survey results indicate that many people using the emergency food system during the pandemic were likely not using it previously. Further analysis showed that food insecure households interreacted with the emergency system differently than they had prior to the pandemic and some were possibly using it for the first time.
