Who Will Save Lebanon's Bread?

The article addresses the severe food security crisis in Lebanon resulting from the destruction of agricultural lands caused by war and fires. Over 56,000 hectares of farmland were affected during 2024, including olive groves and citrus orchards, with losses estimated at over $800 million up to April 2026. These circumstances have led to a 20% increase in food prices and a rise in food insecurity levels impacting approximately 725,000 Lebanese (19% of the population), in addition to the displacement of more than a million people within the country. The report highlights the urgent need for a national plan to rehabilitate the lands, conduct soil assessments, support local production, and supply agricultural supplies to maintain national food security. Restoring these lands is not merely an agricultural issue but a national necessity and a sovereign challenge.
