Wang,Erpeng, et al. “Consumer food stockpiling behavior and willingness to pay for food reserves in COVID-19.” Food Security, vol. 12, no. 4, 2020, pp. 739-747. This scholarly article reviews the implications of technology on the change of consumer behavior. More particularly, the authors research on the impacts of Covid-19 on the consumer. The article connotes on the change of food reserve scale as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown and the future regarding food security. Rather than stockpiling of food, it is important that there be alternative solutions such as GM foods since any stockpiled fresh agricultural products would not last long at the consumer shelves. Such is attributed to the fact that GM foods have little impacts on the food system. Pérez?Escamilla, Rafael, et al. “COVID?19 and maternal and child food and nutrition insecurity: a complexsyndemic.” Maternal & Child Nutrition, vol. 16, no. 3, 2020. This scholarly article addresses the issue regarding Covid-19 pandemic and the associated poverty and food insecurity. Besides, some of the information relates to poor health nutrition, which enhances the need for GM foods as the key solution for any future uncertainties. The primary advantage of GM foods is connoted as food security with the aim of preventing any further risks while at the same time ensuring food safety and the optimum health and well-being of the people. Xie,Xiaoru, et al. “Generational Differences in Perceptions of Food Health/Risk and Attitudes toward Organic Food and Game Meat: The Case of the COVID-19 Crisis in China.” International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, vol. 17, no. 9, 2020, p. 3148. This peer-reviewed journal investigates the impacts of Covid-19, especially in food security and health risks. GM foods are quoted as the main favorable factors for enhancing food safety and security. While GM foods have been safe alternatives, there is a need to have them in future regardless of such crisis or pandemic because they are key solutions to limited organic food supply and costly agricultural products
