Abstract:

Examination of global epidemics in history shows that, despite destructive consequences, each epidemic offers a change-transformation opportunity. Since the beginning of humanity, global epidemics have had heavy, lasting and profound economic and social impacts. Despite all these difficulties and transformations, humanity's unlimited resilience and ability to adapt is extraordinary, and various examples and evidence in history testify to this. Considering the other epidemics examined in the study, besides Covid-19, common features were observed in the context of international trade and economic results. If the leading economies can reduce their disagreements to some extent, agreements and solutions that will allow the continuation of the global economy and international trade even under the most difficult conditions will be reached. At the beginning of these solutions, it may be possible for every nation to secure its own agricultural production and food sovereignty.
