Background

The outbreak of novel coronavirus has significantly impacted worldwide agricultural production, transportation, marketing,and international trade. Achievements in agriculture of which we were so proud of remain vulnerable to such a pandemic. Different countries have implemented effective measures to deal with the shocks of the pandemic on food systems and rural communities to stabilize their food supply and relevant industries.

The public crisis calls for more research on how to deal with such shocks in the future. For example: 

1) how the incorporation of a reliable internet of information and things could improve food supply chain resilience; 

2) how the international communities can guard against trade policies that add vulnerability to world food markets; 

3) how to identify vulnerable groups in remote areas by reforming social security; 

4) how online lessons could be used to promote equality in education; 

5) how rural finance institutions can identify farmers in need of funds. 

The experience and lessons from around the world that will be shared at this conference will effectively raise global awareness and mitigate the adverse impact of the shocks to the whole economic system which can occur under similar extreme situations in the future.

Aims and Scope

Issues expected to be addressed in the symposium include (but are not limited to):

• Resilient Food Supply

• Agriculture Ecommerce

• Rural Microfinance

• Poverty Alleviation

• Labor Migration

会议背景

新冠肺炎疫情的爆发对全球农业生产、运输、销售和国际贸易产生了重大不利影响。我们过去在农业领域取得的引以为豪的成就在疫情冲击下显得十分脆弱。为了稳定粮食供给和相关产业发展，世界各国都采取了一系列有效措施来应对新冠疫情对食物供给系统和农村的冲击。

这场公共危机提醒学术界需要对类似的极端事件影响投入更多的关注，为应对下一次此类疫情提供更丰富的理论和政策工具。例如，如何整合互联网和物联网来提高粮食供应链的抗逆性；如何协调各国贸易政策降低世界粮食市场的脆弱性；如何通过改进社会保障体系来识别偏远地区的弱势群体；如何利用在线课程促进教育公平；农村金融机构如何识别有资金需求的农户。在此次会议上分享世界各国的经验和教训将有效提高人们对这些相似极端事件的认知，并进一步降低未来类似的疫情对全球经济的冲击。
