On #IMAD2026, UNMAS & @FAO are reaffirming our commitment to a mine-free #Syria.

By turning hazardous land into productive spaces, we are laying the foundation for recovery. Syria cannot rebuild on unsafe ground.
Invest in peace.

These efforts support government-led interventions by contributing to the operation of excavators for embankment reinforcement – helping to contain floods, protect agricultural land, livelihoods, and communities.

[FAO in Syria @FAOSyria]

Flooding in the southern #Aleppo is putting 30,000 hectares of farmland & 300 farming families at risk.
@FAO has mobilized rapid protection measures to reduce the impact of potential flooding and mitigate the risk of further devastation.

As the Senior Officers’ Meeting concludes, a strong message emerges: together, through partnership, innovation, and shared commitment, the region can build resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for future generations. #NERC38

[الفاو في الشرق الأدنى وشمال أفريقيا @FAOinNENA]

مع اختتام اجتماع كبار المسؤولين، تم تمرير رسالة قوية فحواها: معًا، من خلال الشراكة والابتكار والالتزام المشترك، يمكن للمنطقة بناء أنظمة غذائية زراعية مرنة ومستدامة للأجيال القادمة.
#NERC38

[FAO in Near East and North Africa @FAOinNENA_EN]

From waste to value.
Bioeconomy and circular innovations can transform agrifood by-products into energy, fertilizers, and new markets — accelerating sustainable growth and resilience in the Near East & North Africa. #NERC38

[الفاو في الشرق الأدنى وشمال أفريقيا @FAOinNENA]

لا مجال للتأخير.
سد فجوة تمويل النظم الزراعية والغذائية — عبر التمويل المناخي والابتكار وتعزيز الشراكات — أمر حاسم للقضاء على الجوع وبناء نظم زراعية وغذائية أكثر مرونة. #NERC38

[الفاو في الشرق الأدنى وشمال أفريقيا @FAOinNENA]

في الشرق الأدنى وشمال أفريقيا، يتجاوز الاعتماد على واردات الحبوب 50%—ومن المتوقع أن يرتفع أكثر بحلول 2050. ومن دون تعزيز مرونة سلاسل الإمداد، ستستمر الصدمات العالمية في رفع الأسعار وتفاقم انعدام الأمن الغذائي. #NERC38 🌍🌾

[FAO in Syria @FAOSyria]

.@FAO with support from @Sida , distributed high-quality fodder to 4 600 smallholder farming households to support their #livestock with better nutrition in order to increase the food production rates.
