Key messages

• Without agriculture and livestock support, many farmers and herders won’t be able to secure food and income and will remain extremely vulnerable to the effects of the conflict and economic crisis.
• Assessments conducted by the Food Security Cluster – co-led by FAO and WFP – indicate an alarming deterioration of the food security situation over the past year.
• Kick-starting food production and revitalizing the agriculture sector is key to ensure lasting peace.
