Food consumption in France: 2020, a special year
Since the lockdown in the spring of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the lifestyle of many French people has changed: new purchasing and consumption habits have developed (direct purchases of local products, online orders...), accompanied by a decrease in purchasing power for some of them.
The sanitary restrictions put in place also had a negative influence on purchasing, with the fear or impossibility of going to certain points of sale, the handling of products which was considered risky, the proximity with other customers and mandatory face masks.
