| description | COVID-19 exacerbated the economic, social, and political vulnerabilities of migrants and increased their food insecurity in cities of the Global South. Compared to residents, migrants are more food insecure due to their limited access to resources. Based on a secondary literature review and an online survey conducted in Wuhan and Nanjing in 2020, this chapter illustrates the four major phases of China's COVID-19 containment policies, shifting from lockdown measures to the “dynamic zero-COVID policy”. The chapter argues that migrants experienced pandemic-induced food access challenges differently from their local counterparts, demonstrating a higher level of food insecurity due to increased food expenditure, restricted mobility, and income loss. Furthermore, while it was the impact of COVID-19 that caused an increase in food insecurity, food insecurity has been entrenched following the downturn of the economy. Therefore, improving migrants’ food security demands structural changes with the aim of generating economic opportunities. |
