If I wrote the phrase "prejudice ability to buy food", I would edit it into "hamper ability to buy food".
Hamper: to prevent someone doing something easily. (Cambridge Dict)
Prejudice: to affect with a prejudice, either favorable or unfavorable. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary of American English)
Which is better in your opinion? It seems to me that "hamper" is a bit better. I am not sure.
===================
Food Access
COVID-19 threatens access to food mainly through losses of income and assets that prejudice ability to buy food. The poorest households spend around 70% of their incomes on food and have limited access to financial markets, making their food security particularly vulnerable to income shocks (2). As the economic costs of social distancing have become more evident, global economic forecasts have become increasingly pessimistic.
