Somalia Launches Ambitious Agricultural Program to End Hunger

The "Farm, and Make Somalia Prosper" program focuses on modern solutions, including:

🟠rainwater harvesting,

🟠climate-smart technologies,

🟠drought-resistant crops,

🟠fodder production,

🟠sustainable irrigation systems.

The objectives are:

🟠to empower farmers,

🟠to exploit the country's vast arable land.

Nine model farms have already been established, with a target of 100 farms by 2029 to provide training and innovation.

The ministry is calling on the private sector, the diaspora, and international partners to invest in this initiative.

Currently, despite its fertile land and natural resources, Somalia imports the majority of its food due to outdated agricultural practices and lack of investment.
