| The unprecedented challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted various sectors, with the agri-food system proving especially vulnerable to disruptions. Ensuring food security and bolstering the resilience of agri-food systems in the aftermath of the pandemic has emerged as a crucial concern. Utilizing the PRISMA protocol, this systematic literature review systematically searched relevant databases and repositories using specific keywords related to agri-food security in the pre and post-pandemic context. The final review incorporated 37 articles. The results revealed that the pandemic profoundly impacted all facets of the agri-food sector, particularly agri-food systems. Despite this, we identified several measures that were implemented or recommended to mitigate disruptions caused by the pandemic and ensure the resilience of the agrifood sector for future similar events. Robust policy measures, promotion of urban agriculture, support for small-scale farmers, enhancement of the international market, technological innovations, collaborations, research and development, and the promotion of novel foods were all highlighted as crucial resilience measures. Policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders are urged to adopt a comprehensive approach encompassing these measures to build a resilient and secure food future in the post-pandemic era. © 2024 the Author(s), licensee AIMS Press.
