The Government of Lebanon and the United Nations have launched an EU-funded programme to help conflict-affected farmers and farming households across the country. Announced in Beirut, the initiative is aimed at easing pressure on rural communities whose livelihoods have been disrupted by conflict.
According to the announcement, the programme focuses on supporting vulnerable agricultural families while protecting the wider farming economy. The effort is designed to help households stay productive and maintain their livelihoods at a time when agriculture remains a key source of income and food security for many communities in Lebanon.
The new intervention brings together Lebanese authorities, the UN and the European Union in a coordinated response to the impact of conflict on the agricultural sector. By directing assistance to affected farmers, the programme seeks to strengthen resilience in rural areas and reduce further losses in farming activity.
Officials described the support as part of a broader response to growing needs in Lebanon. With conflict-affected farmers facing mounting challenges, the programme highlights the role of international backing in helping safeguard agricultural livelihoods nationwide.
