Despite a reduction in conflict, food production in northeast Syria remains a significant challenge due to climatic shocks, limited extension services, and high input costs. Many families struggle to produce the food they need for survival.

With support from SHF, FAO has provided 4,500 farming households (27,000 people) with vegetable production packages, including seeds and organic fertilizer. This timely assistance helps vulnerable families grow fresh vegetables, safeguard their livelihoods, and lessen their dependence on humanitarian aid.
