Merc. negocios [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.45, pp.69-92.  Epub 15-Ago-2022. ISSN 2594-0163.  https://doi.org/10.32870/myn.vi45.7660.g6724.

The objective is to analyze food poverty and the effects in terms of vulnerability because of the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico City from the capability approach. In the analysis stage, centrality, variability, and correlation parameters were used to identify the effects of the health crisis on food poverty. The results corroborate that food poverty is a material and immaterial phenomenon, which impacts the economic, sociocultural, and environmental setting of the individual. The State must design strategies with different stakeholders in society for social and economic recovery, not only because of the implications of the pandemic but also because of the economic inequality among the population.
