Almost 19 million people are facing acute food insecurity in Afghanistan. Hunger on a daily basis.

Widespread drought, rural migration and economic crisis are putting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and herders at risk of total collapse.

FAO is providing seeds, animal feed, training, cash and livelihood support so that farmers and herders can feed their families and remain on their land.

FAO is distributing winter wheat cultivation packages. 
For USD 150, the cost of one package, a family can meet its cereal needs for a year. 

This campaign will benefit 1.3 million people in 30 out of the 34 provinces in the country. 

Protecting rural livelihoods is a core of the emergency humanitarian response to Afghanistan’s crisis, in addition to other lifesaving support. 

If agriculture and livestock production are not protected urgently, millions of Afghans could face catastrophe.
