Sudan's Lands Shift from Food Basket to Hunger

Sudanese agricultural lands, which were formerly known as the "Arab Food Basket" due to their abundance of fertile soil and plentiful water, have suffered significant deterioration because of the war that began in April 2023. The conflict has destroyed over 65% of agricultural activity, and cultivated areas have decreased to about 35% of their pre-war levels, resulting in billions of dollars in agricultural investments lost and infrastructure weakened. As a result, now one-third of Sudan's population of 318 million people is living in extreme hunger, in a situation considered unacceptable globally. Currently, primitive farming practices are widespread, security crises persist, and external interventions are weak, all of which threaten the stability of food security in the region.
