Abstract(s)
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine crisis on the world
economy are real. However, these implications do not appear to be symmetric across countries
and different economic sectors. Indeed, the consequences of these two shocks are more severe for
some countries, regions and economic activities than for others. Considering the importance of the
agricultural sector for global food security, it is important to understand the impacts of the pandemic
and the conflict on the different dimensions of agriculture, namely land use. Given the scarcity of data
for the last few years available from the various statistical databases, this research mainly considers
the insights highlighted in the literature on the implications, in agricultural dimensions, of the most
recent shocks. The study here presented shows that the Russia–Ukraine crisis has had more impact
on land use changes than the pandemic, namely promoting adjustments in the decisions of farmers
and policymakers to deal with constraints in agri-food chains. Nonetheless, the impacts of the conflict
on land use were not totally explored.
