Farmers in Gaza are actively working to safeguard the region’s agricultural heritage by rebuilding a crucial seed bank. The original bank was devastated during recent conflict, threatening the biodiversity of native crops. This initiative focuses on collecting and preserving traditional seeds, vital for the future of Palestinian agriculture. Despite limited access to land, farmers are being encouraged to cultivate existing viable areas. The project aims to bolster food security and maintain a connection to the land for Gazan communities. Reviving the seed bank represents a powerful act of resilience in the face of ongoing challenges and destruction. It offers a sustainable path toward agricultural independence for Gaza’s farmers.
