The analysis presented in the report, Agriculture and Food Security in Somalia: Navigating Challenges and Seizing Opportunities, provides an examination of the current state of agriculture and food security in the country, with a particular focus on its pivotal role in Somalia’s national economy and the sustenance of its population. The report outlines the critical challenges currently facing agricultural productivity, including the impacts of climate change, political instability, and inadequate infrastructure. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the possibility of a private sector-led agricultural economy, which could facilitate growth and enhance food security through innovative practices, increased investment, and improved market accessibility.
The report presents actionable policy recommendations designed to augment agricultural productivity and resilience. These include the implementation of a national agricultural development plan, the safeguarding of farmers’ rights, and the promotion of youth and women-led initiatives. By addressing these challenges and leveraging development opportunities, Somalia can work towards achieving sustainable food security and economic stability.
