Abstract

The relative stability of the agricultural macroeconomic magnitudes during the COVID-19 pandemic does not mean by far that the sector has not suffered the effects of the crisis. On the contrary, the agricultural sector has had to deal with both demand and supply shocks. Many readings can be made of the events and problems that the agri-food sector has had to face and in this paper we take a look at some of them.

KEYWORDS: Catalan agriculture, COVID-19 pandemic, demand shock, supply shock, resistance, resilience, self-sufficiency, food sovereignty, proximity, CAP reform.
