| dc.description | The world is facing one of the largest food crises in 70 years, with 20 million people in four countries — northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen — at risk of famine. If no action is taken, an additional 10 million will be threatened by famine. Famine has already been declared in parts of South Sudan, where 90 000 people risk starvation. By July, more than 5.5 million people will not have any reliable source of food. FAO is on the ground in these countries delivering emergency live lihood assistance to kick-start food production. This assistance includes providing inputs like crop and vegetable seeds, and fishing and dairy kits – which are crucial for providing highly nutritious food. In parts of South Sudan, fishing kits are the only lifeline to food for many families, while in Yemen, dairy kits are helping to provide life-saving milk for children. Supporting agriculture now is not only investing in food production today, but food security tomorrow. | |
