Abstract

When COVID-19 arrived in Buffalo, New York in March 2020, there was already significant food insecurity in the region. However, barriers to food access were greatly exacerbated by the pandemic. This study assesses the pandemic's impact on food access in Buffalo through 75 surveys and 30 qualitative interviews conducted with users of food pantries. Results show that, while the pandemic did contribute to food insecurity, many food pantry users were already experiencing chronic food access issues. Specifically, issues related to transportation, stigma, and chronic poverty must be addressed for food insecure households to better endure emergency events like pandemics.

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
