Challenges
Sustainable and resilient food systems are the main foundation for healthier societies.
Food security is achieved when all individuals in a particular group have access to quality, sustainable food in sufficient quantity to meet their basic needs. Unfortunately, global food security is bending under never-ending demographical, socio-economic , natural and geopolitical pressures such as the world population growth, scarcity of water and land resources and climate change.
As a consequence, the number of people affected by hunger continues to rise since 2014 while food security amongst most vulnerable population groups is expected to erode further due to the socio-economic and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Qatar Charity works with partners and communities to address the immediate concerns of food insecurity and to build lasting solutions to provide vulnerable populations with the physical and economic access to adequate, nutritious, safe, and culturally appropriate foods.

Northwest Syria: Advancing Community-Based Agriculture and Livelihoods
To strengthen socio-economic services and help crisis-affected populations in Northwest Syria achieve self-reliance, Qatar Charity has implemented a comprehensive program of agricultural, livestock, and livelihood assistance. Launched in 2023, the initiative supports internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and host communities, with special attention to highly vulnerable groups, including women-headed households. The program combines the distribution of agricultural inputs—such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and coverage of irrigation and harvest costs—with training on good production practices to enhance yields and sustainability.
It also promotes small-scale food production by providing tools, equipment, and technical guidance, while rehabilitating essential infrastructure including bakeries, flour mills, silos, and irrigation channels. This integrated approach aims to boost local food security, restore productive capacity, and create pathways toward economic independence.
I received a voucher through which I was provided with the necessary agriculture inputs, soil, seeds and fertilizers, pesticides. Fuel and equipment. I also received training from the technical experts who were able to provide me with the needed guidance and instructions. I am proud to see myself reap the fruits of success as I grow and sell my produce and I hope to expand by production to grow beans and cucumber as well.
