In Sudan, producing food is not enough; we must also ensure that it reaches those who need it most.

In a country renowned for its fertile agricultural lands and rich natural resources, access to sufficient and nutritious food has become a daily challenge for millions of Sudanese families amid the ongoing war, displacement, disruptions to agricultural production, and deteriorating livelihoods.

War does not merely deprive people of food. It also prevents farmers from accessing their land, disrupts markets and supply chains, and forces families to lose their sources of income, increasing their dependence on humanitarian assistance.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analyses, approximately 19.5 million people in Sudan faced high levels of acute food insecurity between February and May 2026, highlighting the scale of the humanitarian crisis and the urgent need for a sustainable response.

On World Food Day 2026, celebrated under the theme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO):

🌱 “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow.”

emphasizes that innovation in addressing hunger in Sudan is not limited to modern technologies. It also includes locally driven solutions that help communities restore their capacity to produce food and access it.

HEART calls for prioritizing the following actions:

🌾 Supporting Local Agricultural Production: Empowering farmers, particularly small-scale producers and rural women, by providing access to seeds, agricultural inputs, and the tools needed to restore food production.

🍲 Strengthening Emergency Food and Nutrition Assistance: Ensuring that life-saving assistance reaches the most vulnerable families, particularly children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and displaced people.

💧 Improving Access to Water: Recognizing water as an essential resource for agricultural production, health, nutrition, and food security.

🤝 Protecting Livelihoods and Building Resilience: Supporting community-led initiatives and locally appropriate agricultural solutions while linking humanitarian assistance with early recovery opportunities.

🕊️ Ensuring Safe and Unhindered Humanitarian Access: Preventing conflict and displacement from becoming additional barriers that deprive families of food and essential assistance.

Combating hunger is not only about providing food today; it is also about protecting people’s ability to produce their own food tomorrow.

In Sudan, where the consequences of war intersect with poverty, displacement, and declining agricultural production, investing in food security and livelihoods means investing in human dignity, community resilience, and the future of generations to come.
