Description
José Luis Cruz and co-authors study how people in Madrid changed the way they bought and ate food during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Their team surveyed 600 consumers by phone in May 2021 and sorted the answers by age, gender, income, and schooling. The work takes a city-region food system view, asking how a whole urban area feeds itself and how that setup can bend without breaking in a crisis.
The analysis groups shoppers into four profiles. Younger, richer, and better educated consumers responded in different ways than others, and typical moves included buying more local and organic food and shopping online. The team argues that such shifts, and the alternative food networks behind them, point to ways of making the food system harder to break next time.
