The Agricultural Movement is organizing a solidarity campaign to support farmers who are being threatened by Israeli attacks. 

In addition to the daily massacres, destruction campaigns and mass displacement of the people of the land, the Israeli army is also purposefully targetting agricultural lands in the South of Lebanon and Beqaa Valley. We have seen this coming with the targeting of the vital infrastructure of our land with the aim to lay the foundation for mass starvation, as we have all witnessed happening in Gaza.

In this context and in support of the rights of people to defend their land and sovereignty, we would like to stand in solidarity with farmers and support them by planting heirloom seeds, help feed and move cattles to safe zones, and make sure that we can still produce in times of war and siege.

With the collected amount, we will first distribute heirloom seeds, grow them in nurseries and send them to farmers, as well as communities in many towns across Lebanon. In times of war, decentralizing the production is essential to fight against the weaponization of food.

The collected amount will allow us to :

Produce seedlings for the new season (tomatoes, thyme, eggplants, zucchini) and heirloom seeds distribution to farmers (molokheya, onions...) in areas not under threat.

Cover labour costs (agricultural workers)

Cover shelter, feed and transportation costs of cattles and beehives from threatened zones to safe areas.
