Led by FAO deputy director-general Beth Bechdol, together with senior regional and emergency leadership, the mission advanced a coordinated approach— reinforcing agriculture as a frontline humanitarian response in Haiti, and biosecurity, disaster preparedness, and market stability in the Dominican Republic. Building on this, FAO’s Emergency Food Production approach enables highly vulnerable families to grow food within just 90 days, even amid a crisis. “In the Dominican Republic, robust biosecurity measures safeguard farmers, protect markets, and sustain vital regional trade. To build on these efforts, FAO is seeking $108 million to support 860,000 people in Haiti through emergency food production and livelihood protection. In the Dominican Republic, FAO is working with partners to mobilize additional resources to expand biosecurity coverage, strengthen livestock systems, and safeguard national and regional food supply chains.
