    Syrian Arab Republic: Protecting wheat farmers by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas 2022

    The Syrian Arab Republic is affected by compounding risk factors such as conflict, economic crises and natural hazards, which have severe impacts on food security. In September 2021, forecasts indicated below-average winter rains, likely to again affect wheat production, livelihoods and food security. Many wheat farmers and their vulnerable families are unlikely to be able to access suitable wheat seeds without support. The German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the Anticipatory Action window of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA-AA) will help wheat farmers mitigate the impact of increasing prices for food commodities, agriculture inputs and an expected below-average domestic cereal production on their food security. Early action protects farmers in the Syrian Arab Republic by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas.
