Synopsis (short abstract) With almost all areas controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) retaken by the Government of Iraq by the end of 2017, focus in 2018 will shift from humanitarian operations to recovery and resilience. However, significant humanitarian needs remain, as conflict has severely impacted the agriculture sector and left 2 million people food insecure, including internally displaced people, host communities, returnees, residents and refugees. To address food intake gaps families often adopt negative coping mechanisms, depleting savings and generating debts. FAO is committed to restoring livestock production – one of the pillars of Iraq’s agriculture sector – to improve food security and self-reliance.

    Protracted displacement, political uncertainty, insecurity and climate disasters are driving humanitarian needs in Iraq, as the country strives to rebuild its key sectors. The unpredictable situation is disrupting access to basic services, destroying livelihoods and leading to increased protection risks. Restoring agriculture should be a key component of reconstruction efforts. Agriculture-driven growth has the potential to improve food security, increase self-sufficiency and benefit poor populations in both rural and urban areas.
