Currently, nearly half of Haiti’s population is facing acute hunger. For years, natural hazards and political turmoil have taken a toll on Haitians who were already in need of humanitarian assistance in both rural and urban areas. Rising food and fuel prices has led to growing civil unrest that has plunged Haiti into chaos, paralysing economic activities and transport. The basic food basket is out of reach for many Haitians. The situation is further exacerbated by the recent escalating violence and increased internal displacement which is likely to push more people to the brink of survival. It is crucial to help Haitians produce better, more nutritious food to safeguard their livelihoods and strengthen their resilience, especially in the context of a worsening food crisis.
