For a safe and solidarity diet in Palestine
Palestine, which is undergoing an oppressive military occupation heavily limiting the development of its main economic activities, is facing an increasing difficulty to access food, not only as far the less developed areas or the poorest population groups of the Country are concerned.
That’s why COSPE is in the front line, beside Palestinian farmers, with a project aiming to increase and improve food production in the most suburban and dry areas of the West Bank. In particular, the project involves the realization of micro-vegetable gardens, the implementation of a ‘school farm’ to teach local farmers farming techniques that can be reproduced by their families and the development of some experimental crops of barley and wheat to grant food security to the population living in dry and barren areas.
With your precious contribution you will support young people and farmers form Palestine in the development of a safe and sustainable agriculture, financing the necessary technical assistance to realize over 40 vegetable gardens and micro-gardens, the formation and construction of the ‘school farm’ and the organization of some informative meetings in Palestinian schools to develop an actual ‘food culture’ and make responsible consumers out of young people.
Support Palestinian children and farmers, your help can make the difference!
