Beekeeping offers fresh opportunities for displaced farmers in Somalia.

In Qardo, Somalia, beekeepers have established a cooperative to tackle challenges and enhance their operations. Omar Mohamud Bare, a former farmer displaced by drought, has turned to beekeeping with support from the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and local authorities. He now manages six hives, producing 20 to 25 kilograms of honey monthly, which generates a profit of up to Sh 77,700 ($600). Omar's shift to beekeeping followed the loss of his two-hectare farm, and he credits the new skills and equipment for revitalizing his family's livelihood.
