MiFOOD researchers in Singapore publish a new paper titled “Migrant domestic workers and transnational foodcare chains in pandemic times” in the journal Geographical Research. Drawing on migrant women’s experiences during the pandemic, as they sought to secure access to food for themselves and for left-behind children and family members in Indonesia and the Philippines, the paper proposes the idea of transnational foodcare chains. It focuses on developing, within studies of food (in)security, the idea of foodcare chains by foregrounding the maternal, relational, and often invisible labour of achieving food security for migrant women and their left-behind families.
