Synopsis (short abstract) Lebanon is facing one of the most severe economic crises in the world in addition to a protracted refugee crisis. Inflation has skyrocketed and unemployment has reached an all-time high. Year-on-year food prices have doubled, eroding the purchasing power of all families in Lebanon. Four in ten of the people projected to be acutely food insecure in Lebanon in 2023 live in rural areas. Humanitarian response to support local food producers is critical to prevent a further deterioration in the food security situation. However, less than 1 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors goes to support the agricultural livelihoods of families in need.

    Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.

    In the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the socioeconomic crisis continues to drive food insecurity – the most pressing challenge for the population. Devaluation of the national currency and rising food prices have impacted households’ purchasing power. Vulnerable populations still have to adopt two or more negative coping mechanisms (e.g. skipping meals and selling productive assets) to cover their food needs. Livelihoods assistance is a vital component of the food security response. Every USD 1 spent on supporting local food production with seed packages triples its value in harvests, providing healthy diets for the whole family.
