Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has a wide range of negative implications for worldwide economies and people. The COVID-19 offers various problems to the long-term survival of the agriculture sector, which is particularly vulnerable because of food supply security concerns. To begin, it is critical to understand and appreciate the immediate consequences of the current pandemic on agriculture and food systems to build necessary remedies. The hazards, vulnerability, resilience, and systemic modifications of agricultural systems must be better understood to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the inconvenient effects of Corona virus on horticulture and food systems through weakness and flexibility as if it were a worldwide calamity The literature evaluation was organized around the concepts of 'vulnerability' and resilience,' which have dominated disaster studies since World War II. The fundamental input of this study is the systematization and grouping of the key options to increase agricultural system resilience in the face of a COVID-19 pandemic, based on recent scientific papers released in 2020. Based on a detailed literature review, future research guidelines are also suggested. Any economy's foundation is agriculture. It is the vital sector that provides employment, allowing the financial process to continue.
