Vision

Food security is increasingly becoming a major national issue in light of urbanization, globalization, significant international food price rises and fluctuations, and climate change impacts. Moreover, food insecurity in Jordan has been exacerbated by the influx of Syrian refugees, decreased remittances from Jordanians working abroad, diminishing support to UNRWA, and lately, the outbreak of COVID-19 which has played an important role in shedding light on the importance and centrality of food security.

 

In the context of Jordan, food security is usually envisaged as the ability for the country to be self-sufficient and self-reliant in the provision of essential food items.  Food security in Jordan has, therefore , almost solely been associated with agriculture.
 

Based on the report of The National Food Security Strategy 2021 – 2030 (Final report 2021) Among Jordanians, 3% of the households are food-insecure, amounting to 219,186 individuals, and another 53% are vulnerable to food-insecurity, corresponding to 3,872,286 individuals (according to the Food Security Index/CARI).  Amongst all of the governorates, Al-Tafila is by far the most food-insecure governorate, with 20% of households being food-insecure.

Several institutions, organizations and groups have a stake in food security in Jordan; they affect and are affected directly or indirectly by the status of food security; theses concerned stakeholders are :

  1. Government institutions

  2. Farmers’ groups and associations

  3. Private sector

  4. International, regional, and bilateral organizations

  5. U.N. organizations

  6. Civil society and NGOs

 

O3-SBD concerns and represent 4 out of the 6 stakeholders, as it involves University of Jordan (Governmental Institution); Farmers (Farmers’ groups and associations); Manaseer Natural Solutions (Private sector) and USAID ( International, regional, and bilateral organizations)

The other parties that may benefit from O3-SBD solutions will be  consumers and the civil society and NGOs.

Identify the direct stakeholders that exhibit this need, and then identify the other parties that may benefit from a solution. 
 

In simple and clear terms, briefly explain the proposed approach to address the problem?

Deciduous crops such as Onion, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Cucumber and garlic may represents annual losses of about 612 thousands of waste and losses. Theses losses may be caused by Soilborne diseases. The use of soil fumigants and other pesticides is increasingly in Jordan and can represent very high levels for chemicals (more than 64 tons/Year only soil fumigants).
 

O3-SBD will focus in study Plant/Diseases models:

- Tomatoes Virus associated diseases;

- Onion Nematodes associated diseases

- Cucumber Fungus associated diseases

- Lettuce Virus & Fungus associated diseases

For these phytosanitary problems caused by soilborne diseases O3-SBD project aims to apply ozone technology to overcome these problems and to apply bio stimulants to regenerate soil microbiome with beneficial PGPR compositions.

 

Clearly indicate where the problem is most clearly identified. who are the direct stakeholders that need this problem to be solved, and who are the other parties what may benefit from a solution.
