Basic food is still beyond the reach of millions of people in Syria as rise in prices and disruption of livelihoods among other impacts of protracted conflict continues to affect the population.

Climate-smart agriculture was first discussed at The Hague Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change in 2010 where the concept was launched by FAO in 2010 in a reference document.
