Food Security and Agriculture (FSAC)

The overall level of food insecurity across Afghanistan fell in 2023 compared to the extremely high levels seen in 2022. This has been largely the result of unprecedented levels of humanitarian food assistance and emergency agricultural assistance on the one hand and a significant reduction in drought-conditions across most of the country in late 2023 on the other, which is expected to continue in early 2024. However, the projected levels of food insecurity in 2024 remain extremely high – with more than a third of the total population projected to be experiencing crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) from November 2023 to March 2024 and importantly, the food security situation remains extremely fragile.
