The project aims to evaluate the status of household food security and how food security and household food practices have been shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic in Quito, Ecuador. It will employ a representative survey approach to generate a city-wide dataset for a comparative study with other cities in the Hungry Cities Partnership. It also provides baseline information for investigating the food (in)security of marginalized populations, particularly refugees and migrants, in the city of Quito during the pandemic.
