Abstract
Through this research paper, we aim to highlight the role of sustainable
agriculture in achieving food security in light of current environmental
challenges, particularly in desert areas. The Sahrawi refugees in the Tindouf
camps suffer from a lack of food security and rely almost entirely on
humanitarian aid, in addition to the harsh climatic and environmental
conditions. By studying the case of the "H2Grow" project implemented by the
World Food Program (WFP), it becomes evident that adopting sustainable and
simple agricultural techniques, such as hydroponics, can increase food
security rates and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition among the refugees.
This study concludes that scaling up, supporting, and funding such projects is
a strategic necessity for achieving food security in similar environments.
