Conflict and natural disasters—such as drought, earthquakes, and pest infestations—can have devastating impacts on food security and livelihoods. USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) supports agricultural interventions that increase livelihood opportunities and help crisis-affected populations meet their basic needs. USAID/BHA works to strengthen local disaster response capacity and increase community resilience to shocks. In the aftermath of disasters, USAID/BHA supports agricultural infrastructure rehabilitation and economic recovery by providing agriculture -based livelihood assistance. USAID/BHA-funded programs also support animal health, livestock and fisheries, pest control initiatives, and provision of agricultural goods to vulnerable households.
