In an online seminar organized by Permaculture & Palestine (PEPA), titled “Practical Support for Palestinian-Led Projects”, APN Advocacy and Research Assistant Gabriella Neubert delivered a presentation on agriculture as a key frontline of green resistance against Israeli settler colonialism.

Neubert underscored the urgent need to support the sovereign revival of Gaza’s agricultural capacities amid the continued inaction of states and multilateral institutions. Such support, she argued, not only resists the occupation’s starvation tactics, but concretely stands with Palestinians to cultivate their land in pursuit of freedom from colonial domination and the form it takes through aid dependency.

With seeds and essential inputs barred from entry, Neubert highlighted APN’s Revive Gaza’s Farmland project as a model for restoring local food-producing capacities. Through the project, APN has worked with farmers in cultivating 1,256 dunums during the genocide, yielding over six million kilograms of produce  – a marker, she noted, of the vast potential in the 2,320 dunums available for cultivation.

Neubert warned that current “peace” proposals, crafted in isolation of Palestinians, risk eroding the pursuit of justice. She urged concrete support for APN’s Revive Gaza’s Farmland project and the broader struggle for food and political sovereignty. As part of this effort, she called for exposing and dismantling supply chains that sustain the settler-colonial project, citing the occupation’s “climate-smart” agri-tech that repurposes military technologies.
