Resumen
Descripción
In November 2023, Nepal was struck by its deadliest earthquake since 2015, particularly affecting Jajarkot and Rukum-West districts. It claimed lives, caused widespread property damage and led to massive losses and destruction in the agriculture sector – a lifeline for approximately 80 percent of the affected population. Following the initial emergency response led by the Government of Nepal, the focus has shifted to recovery and reconstruction in the medium and long term. During this phase, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks to support earthquake-affected farmers to restore agricultural production and strengthen their livelihoods in the face of shocks. This document provides an overview of the impact of the earthquake on agriculture and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements until December 2024.
