Sudan
The ongoing conflict in the Sudan has further exacerbated the food insecurity of people across the country already reeling from the impacts of civil unrest, displacement and an economic crisis. As a result, agriculture – the Sudan’s most important economic sector – continues to be significantly affected by input shortages, a drop in cultivated land and the deterioration of livestock services. FAO is working to significantly scale up crop production and livestock and fisheries support for vulnerable households to enhance local food production in the face of a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
