Acute hunger threatens 295 million people, with 87 million in extreme conditions. Farmers, herders, and fishers, who feed us, are often the most vulnerable. Saving lives cannot wait.

Timely, practical support for emergency food production—providing seeds, animal feed, and basic tools—is a vital lifeline. This assistance protects dignity, strengthens self-reliance, and prevents famine before it takes hold.

The FAO, supporting the UN OCHA #87MillionLives campaign, calls on governments and partners to urgently match the crisis's scale. Learn more and act now: https://www.unocha.org/87-million-lives-one-life-time

Palestinian youth, especially young women, face alarmingly high unemployment and poverty. Limited job opportunities and a mismatch between education and labor market needs hinder access to decent work, impacting purchasing power and food security.

The FAO, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funded by Denmark, is tackling this by promoting sustainable "green" jobs in the agrifood sector. The project strengthens youth skills, supports green enterprises, and engages various partners to empower young women and men in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This fosters decent employment, builds resilience, and contributes to a sustainable agrifood system.

Addressing obsolete Soviet-era pesticides is an urgent priority in Central Asia and Türkiye. The FAO and GEF "Lifecycle Management of Pesticides" project tackles this challenge, promoting sustainable agriculture to safeguard health, restore land, and build a cleaner future.

Implemented across Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Türkiye, the project embeds Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This has significantly reduced pesticide use—70% in Türkiye and 80% in Kazakhstan—without sacrificing yields. The initiative also strengthens national capacities through training and technical guidelines, demonstrating that a healthier agricultural future is achievable through innovation and partnerships.
