Agriculture
Agriculture plays a critical role in addressing food security, especially in refugee settings. However, challenges such as land use for biofuels or unsafe working conditions due to conflict can hinder food production.
Health & Medicine
Food security is closely tied to health, as poor-quality or unsafe food can negatively impact well-being. Ensuring proper storage and hygiene practices is essential for maintaining food safety2.
Hunger & Food Security
Food security requires stable access to safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food. Disruptions caused by natural disasters, wars, or economic instability can lead to food insecurity, particularly among refugees.
Immigrants or Refugees
Refugees often face acute food insecurity due to restrictive laws, limited employment opportunities, and displacement. Interventions like cash transfers, food vouchers, and urban agriculture are critical for improving their food security46.
Protections
Protecting refugees’ rights, such as freedom of movement and employment, is essential for ensuring food security. Policies that restrict these rights exacerbate food insecurity in displaced populations
Cash Distribution
Cash transfers are a flexible and efficient form of humanitarian aid, allowing recipients to prioritize their needs. They can be unconditional, conditional, or multipurpose, depending on the context and objectives of the program.
