Synopsis (short abstract) Political disputes and the deterioration of the economic and security situation in Libya continue to threaten the agricultural sector and its infrastructure. The cereal sector and, above all, wheat production, the most important crop for food security, are particularly affected. To improve food security conditions, farmers need to have access to improved seed, especially wheat seed. The wheat seed assistant programme was implemented to help small farmers in selected governorates to increase wheat production and productivity by distributing improved seed to producer households affected by the political situation, and by providing training and extension.

    Improving Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihoods through Emergency Seed Provision in Ethiopia - TCP ETH 3601 2018
    Also available in:
    Ethiopia is vulnerable to many natural hazards, and years of below-average rainfall, coupled with the 2015 El Niño-induced drought, resulted in deteriorating food security in 2016. In some regions crop losses, mainly cereals, were between 30 and 95 percent. Many households had to eat their seed reserves, leaving them without means of production in future seasons. This project –part of the largest emergency seed response in Ethiopia’s history –focused on providing seed aid to vulnerable smallholders: 13 875 households were helped, over a third more than the 10 223 initially targeted, to resume their agricultural livelihoods.

    The key objective of the project is to safeguard the lives of the food insecure farming families in the targeted cooperative farms by increasing the production of wheat during the 2013 autumn planting season through the provision of wheat seed and urea fertilizer. A field mission was conducted in June 2014 to collect information on wheat production in the assisted cooperative farms following the harvest.

    Conflict, political instability and insecurity have fuelled the protracted crisis in Libya, impacting individuals and families as well as the country’s economy and institutions. Resulting waves of displacement have further affected households’ ability to withstand additional shocks, while diminished purchasing power and disrupted markets have made resilience and recovery increasingly difficult. Increased engagement in agriculture can play a vital role in supporting resilience, allowing households to better adapt to future shocks. In 2019, FAO requires USD 3 million to assist 298 000 people.
