In Gaza City, Palestinian farmers, who have great difficulties in finding seeds, are trying to continue their agricultural activities by planting pepper, eggplant and squash seeds from last year’s crop. These efforts are crucial not only for their livelihood but also for preserving the agricultural heritage of their villages.
Farmers aim to revive their lands through this initiative, aiming to revive agricultural lands that have been severely damaged by Israeli attacks. The challenges they face in this process often highlight the traditional methods and solidarity used to sustain their agricultural production.
- Re-evaluation of Lands:Farmers are trying various methods to repurpose their land and increase productivity.
- Solidarity and Cooperation:They collaborate with other farmers in the neighborhood to share seeds and resources.
- Use of Local Seeds:By using local seeds, they both increase product diversity and protect agricultural biodiversity.
These efforts provide a glimmer of hope for the revival of Gaza’s agricultural landscape, where farmers’ determination and perseverance demonstrate their determination to sustain agricultural production despite the harsh conditions in the region.
