Resumen
Descripción
Yemen is facing the world’s largest food security crisis. Ongoing conflict escalated dramatically in mid-March 2015, which severely disrupted the economy, including the agriculture sector. It also collapsed essential services and caused large-scale displacement and high rates of malnutrition. Humanitarian access has become increasingly restricted, including in some of the worst-affected areas.
Food insecurity in Yemen is deep-rooted and linked to decades of underdevelopment, chronic malnutrition and aggravating environmental factors including severe water shortages. Until these factors are addressed, acute hunger will continue to reoccur.
Agriculture must be an integral part of the humanitarian response to prevent Yemen’s dire food security situation from worsening. FAO’s programmes in Yemen aim to save livelihoods through the provision of supplies, knowledge and training to support the most vulnerable Yemeni communities to enhance their resilience and improve their food security and nutrition.
