Abstract
Between March 24th and April 3rd 2020, the Hungry Cities Partnership conducted an online survey with 796 residents of Wuhan to assess the food security situation of the population and their strategies to access food after the lockdown. The survey used the online survey platform “Wenjuanxing” and was circulated on the most widely-used mobile app in China: WeChat. The survey was followed up with in-depth telephone interviews with a sub-sample of online respondents in April and May 2020. The aim was to understand the everyday experience of food access in the city during the lockdown and details of strategies used by local residents to ensure household food security in a rapidly changing policy environment.
