Food security is achieved at the individual and household levels when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Many challenges face northern Syria in achieving food security for the population, such as faltering policies, poverty, and obstacles to accessing agricultural production that meets the needs of the market in general. The humanitarian REACH initiative says the day laborer in Idlib needs 65 days to earn the monthly cost in order to secure basic necessities. Food security is based on four dimensions identified by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which are the availability, access, use, and stability of food. It also weakens the task of human competencies in sifting and dismantling the problem to treat it, which mainly affects food security in a situation similar to the case of the Idlib region.
