Abstract

This article assesses Syria’s agriculture under conflict by employing newly published official data up until 2019. It explains how the land reforms of the 1960s and state support for the farming sector have represented a buffer against hunger and famine as Syria was plunged into war. It reviews Syria’s agricultural history from the period after independence until the year of the uprising. The fact that Syria, despite a decade of war has survived without famine vindicates the point that state support for agriculture in developing formations is central to food, development and national securities. Insofar as reconstruction effort is concerned, a re-emphasis on rejuvenating the farming sector can become the building block to enhancing capacity across all other sectors. The paper concludes that resilience in agriculture and nationally nurtured food security in Syria have supplemented its capabilities to fend off the imperialist assault and safeguard territorial integrity.

叙利亚农业的复原力
本文采用截至2019年最新公布的官方数据评估了冲突中的叙利亚农业。它解释了20世纪60年代的土地改革和国家对农业部门的支持是如何在叙利亚陷入战争之际缓冲饥饿和饥荒的。它回顾了叙利亚从独立后到起义年的农业历史。叙利亚尽管经历了十年的战争,但没有发生饥荒,这一事实证明了国家对发展中的农业的支持对粮食、发展和国家安全至关重要。就重建工作而言,重新强调振兴农业部门可以成为提高所有其他部门能力的基石。该论文的结论是,叙利亚农业的韧性和国家培育的粮食安全补充了其抵御帝国主义袭击和维护领土完整的能力。
