Yemen is one of the world’s worst food crises. Unprecedented levels of acute food insecurity and malnutrition in the country are mainly driven by conflict and the economic crisis. Vulnerable households face difficulties in accessing food due to increased food prices, and reduced incomes and labour opportunities. This adversely affects their diets and forces them to adopt negative coping mechanisms such as selling productive assets to cover basic needs as well as rely heavily on humanitarian aid. Supporting farmers through a combination of emergency and longer-term livelihood assistance helps foster their self-reliance and strengthen their resilience.
