Due to the local and global circumstances, climatic condition and the limitation of water resources, the agriculture sector in Jordan faces several challenges and suffers environmental problems related to water scarcity, water pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation. Under the lead of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, the Jordanian government developed its National Agenda 2015-2025 which targets: enhancing the agricultural sector’s competitiveness and productivity, tackle food insecurity, based on poverty alleviation, expanding social services and developing water resources. The policy aims to improve sustainable food production by small-holder farmers and more generally support the most vulnerable Jordanians and refugees. However, the constant flood of refugees is creating pressure on Jordan available resources. Overall, Syrian refugees alone are currently account for about 15-20 percent of the total population of some 10 million inhabitants in Jordan.
