The global crisis generated by COVID-19 made us think and magnified the structural problems of capitalism. The modern lifestyle has disconnected us from nature and this undermines the perception of the environmental consequences of industrial agriculture that sustains it, such as the emergence of new viruses. However, current events are extreme and may be strong enough to generate society structural changes. This crisis has unprecedented outlines: it is not just a sanitary or economic crisis, it is a civilizing crisis. The way we relate to nature is collapsing and we cannot retake it. Thus, this essay was thought to offer a theoretical and scientific support to discussions on health, the right to food and food security that will be necessary in the post-pandemic world. This article discusses some of the consequences of the global adoption of the industrial agro-food system on our health and food security during the pandemic and ends by highlighting agroecology as a path to the future.
