Resumen
Descripción
In Guatemala, the high cost of the basic food basket hinders households’ ability to access food and leads to increased adoption of negative coping mechanisms, such as selling productive assets or depleting seed reserves to meet basic food needs. As a result, nearly one in six people, mainly vulnerable farmers, are likely to experience acute food insecurity. Supporting their food production is essential to the humanitarian response and is cost-effective. For example, every US dollar invested in agricultural support enables a family to produce staple food worth nearly six times the cost of the seed package received.
