Abstract

The spread and long persistence of COVID-19 has deepened social exclusion, poverty, and food insecurity in Argentina. While Argentina is a country with a surplus in agri-food production and, in volume, it is the third largest global exporter, the prevalence of moderate and severe food insecurity reached 35.8 percent of the population by 2018-2020. The governance of food security is basically in the hands of the private actors that make up the logistic and commercial supply networks, due to the state’s incapacity to guide or influence - in some way - their dynamics. Considering the institutional and political context, this chapter proposes four general principles as axes of innovation for public management and post-COVID-19 policies. The implementation of these four principles presupposes a sustained increase in the state’s capacity to lead the governance of the food supply, reducing food insecurity and increasing access to healthy diets.
