Samenvatting

The COVID-19 pandemic has a large and decisive impact on public health, and generates major consequences for social relationships, economic development and food systems. Also, it fuels discussions on desired levels of globalization and ways we deal with natural resources. Considering the overarching effects, it is important to recognize major dilemma’s for post-COVID-19 agri-food policies for (a) choosing appropriate instruments and incentives, (b) maintaining an adequate balance between different policy domains, and for (c) weighing the importance of different societal objectives.
