How do people living through the Syrian conflict find food? The 麻豆社鈥橲 Dan Saladino explores what鈥檚 happening in Syria, where food is often used as both a weapon and target of war.

Bakeries have been reportedly targeted in bombings, and profiteers look to gain from the scarcity of staples by hiking up prices for the food that is available. We speak to Jakob Kern, who oversees a $700m operation for the UN鈥檚 World Food Programme as he attempts to get food aid into besieged towns and hard to reach communities.

And we hear a meal shared between two re-settled Syrian families as they try to start a new life away from their war-torn homeland.

Plus, we further explore how a food culture re-forms after it鈥檚 forced to flee and relocate, as Syrian-American Dalia Mortada shares the food stories she鈥檚 been collecting from the diaspora in the United States. And the small industries that might offer hope for farmers in a post-conflict country.
