COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, thus disrupting domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe and diverse diets. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit. o to present an unprecedented challenge to ...: đặt ra thách thức chưa từng có đối với ... o devastating /ˈdevəsteɪtɪŋ/ (adj) = causing a lot of damage and destroying things: tàn khốc o to fall into extreme poverty: rơi vào cảnh nghèo khó cùng cực o border closures: việc đóng cửa biên giới o trade restrictions: việc hạn chế thương mại o confinement measures: các biện pháp hạn chế đi lại o to disrupt something /dɪsˈrʌpt/ (v) = to make it difficult for something to continue in the normal way: làm gián đoạn o food supply chains: các chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm o breadwinner /ˈbredwɪnər/ (n) = a person who supports their family with the money they earn: người trụ cột trong gia đình o to be hardest hit = to be most affected: bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề nhất Source: https://www.who.int/news/item/13-10-2020-impact-of-covid-19-on-people's-livelihoods-their-health-and- our-food-systems SYNONYMS o to be at risk » to be under threat
