FAQ

What are the project objectives?

The occupation uses food as a means for subjugation, displacement and now genocide. In Gaza, at least 75% of agricultural land has been systematically destroyed increasing dependence on external parties to secure food.
Our “Revive Gaza’s Farmland” project was launched to:
1. Boost local production to create food sovereignty and thus political sovereignty
2. Enhance food security and nutrition
3. Improve water security
4. Promote income-generating projects

How are inputs secured?

By procuring them locally as well as externally through international organisations.

How will you carry out the project despite the bombardment and blockade?

Despite the systematic destruction, some farmers have persevered in cultivating and providing food to local markets. Given the seriousness of the security situation and the blockade, the project will be implemented in phases based on key factors, namely mobility and access, resource availability and farmers' needs on the ground.

How will we plant under water scarcity?

We will use irrigation water that is arable and available in Gaza.

Where will we plant?

Across Gaza’s five governorates: North Gaza, Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, Rafah.

What are the project components?

Snapshots From Gaza

Farming is Resistance

Every seed planted aids in the tenacity of its people. It provides food to sustain them while lowering sheer prices in the market.

The Harvest is Starting to Yield

The war imposed a dim reality, so we started our project amidst the bombardment. Like our farmers' strength, the crops broke through the cracks of the rubble.

We Will Cultivate Every Last Inch

Despite the siege, constant bombing, and rampant destruction, Gazan farmers remained on their land. It is our responsibility to back them up.

Effective Water Management Amidst the Reality of War

We help farmers utilize every water droplet meant for farming by extending networks of irrigation, construction of farm ponds, and installation of pumps.

You can make a difference

Stand with us to ensure Gaza can feed and sustain itself.
