    Digital solutions for small-scale farmers in the NENA region: opportunities and challenges
    2025
    Also available in:
    In the second quarter of 2025, the food security situation in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region remained fragile due to ongoing conflict, relatively high food prices, and volatile agricultural production. While global food commodity prices showed marginal signs of stabilization, regional inflationary pressures and constrained access to food continued to affect vulnerable populations, especially in conflict-affected countries. At the same time, several governments in the region introduced new policy measures and investment initiatives aimed at improving agricultural resilience and food systems. Digital technologies also gained traction across NENA, offering promising tools for small-scale farmers, although gaps in infrastructure and access remain significant.

The Near East and North Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition warns that the Arab region remains off-track to meet the food security and nutrition targets of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.In 2023, 66.1 million people, approximately 14 percent of the population in the Arab region, faced hunger. The report highlights that access to adequate food remains elusive for millions. Around 186.5 million people – 39.4 percent of the population – faced moderate or severe food insecurity, an increase of 1.1 percentage points from the previous year. Alarmingly, 72.7 million people experienced severe food insecurity.

    The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region is undergoing rapid transformation defined by both pressing challenges and emerging opportunities. From climate change and water scarcity to population growth, urbanization, and food import dependency, the region continues to navigate a dynamic landscape. Ongoing conflicts and instability have further impacted progress in achieving sustainable development. In this context, the FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (RNE) plays a crucial role in supporting countries to overcome these challenges and deliver on the priorities set by the Member States during the Near East Conference. The RNE Regional Priorities (RPs) serve as a coordinated programmatic roadmap for action, firmly anchored in the FAO’s Strategic Framework and its vision for the Four Betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. These priorities guide the implementation of country programmes across the region, focusing on transforming agrifood systems, enhancing food security, building climate resilience, and promoting inclusive, equitable growth. Together, through a coordinated and programmatic approach, we are driving meaningful progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while responding to the region’s unique needs and unlocking its potential.
