Food is always a primary concern in vulnerable communities affected by conflict. Emergency feeding programs are important to meet immediate needs when communities are recovering from conflict, but families are also looking for ways to rebuild self-reliance. Under the USAID-funded Syria Emergency Food Security Program (SEFSP) III program, Blumont worked with 500 rural Syrians to restore the farms that sustain their diets and livelihoods.
