Towards Sustainable Resilience: Frameworks for Enhancing Food Security in Disrupted Supply Chains

This research examines the complex dynamics of food security in disrupted supply chains, with a focus on resilience frameworks that enhance household food security during crises. Utilizing Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) analysis, the study reveals substantial findings indicating that household income and agricultural productivity are critical determinants of food security, particularly in the face of supply chain disruptions such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results highlight that localized agricultural practices significantly contribute to food resilience, with adaptive coping strategies, including income diversification, effectively mitigating food insecurity levels. Furthermore, the need for tailored policy interventions that address the unique socioeconomic contexts of various communities is emphasized, underscoring an urgent call for interdisciplinary collaboration to develop comprehensive, long-term food security strategies that enhance resilience against future disruptions. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable food systems, advocating for innovations that integrate empirical data with local knowledge and adaptive practices.
