Agricultural production and rural livelihoods in the local area continue to be disrupted by conflict and displacement. Many families have lost income and productive assets, affecting their ability to sustain farming activities. The Government of Lebanon and the UN have launched a programme to support conflict-affected farmers, funded by the European Union.

The programme is being implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, the World Food Programme, and the Food and Agriculture Organization. Further details about the programme are available from the source, including the support that vulnerable farming families can expect to receive. The initiative aims to address the worsening food insecurity in the area, which currently affects a significant number of people.
