No results found.Lebanon is currently facing a critical food security crisis. Its food system, meanwhile, faces multiple challenges, including fragmented land, reliance on imported agricultural inputs, inefficient water use and outdated infrastructure. These issues are exacerbated by an ongoing water crisis, as well as public health concerns such as cholera and hepatitis outbreaks. Given the region’s heavy dependence on agriculture, these factors significantly heighten its vulnerability. Over 1.05 million individuals – including Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees – experiencing acute food insecurity, placing them in Phase 3 of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). This number is expected to rise to 1.65 million by March 2025.In this context, the Government of Switzerland has provided funds for FAO to develop a project document, which focuses on addressing a range of challenges affecting food security in Lebanon. The project formulated aims to tackle the country’s urgent food security challenges by promoting integrated water resource management, enhancing agricultural practices and strengthening the livelihoods of vulnerable small-scale farmers and workers. -

No results found.FAO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture in Jordan, and in partnership with IFAD and WFP, launched the project entitled “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”. This project is funded by the European Union, through the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian crisis, the EU Madad Fund. The project addresses the reduced livelihood and food security levels in Jordan resulting from the crisis in Syria. It offers to tackle its negative impact on both refugees from Syria and host communities through support to the agriculture sector. This will be done by improving the agricultural productivity and farmers’ incomes, in addition to creating job opportunities for both host communities and displaced Syrians. The project will also promote social protection mechanisms for the benefit of the host farming community. The project also aims at creating adequate agriculture production support systems for vulnerable smallholders that support good agriculture practices and timely response to shocks and rehabilitate the capacity of the agriculture extension systems to be able to respond to the increasing demand for support due to the impact of the Syrian crisis. In addition, the project will support vulnerable smallholders and small family-based agri-food enterprises to increase the productivity and financial feasibility. The brochure will ensure the visibility of FAO and the partners, including the donor. It will provide information on the project and output 2. -
