SocietySeeds of hope: how a local farming project is offering a lifeline to Gaza

The family-run Al-Qarara Seed Bank is rebuilding collections of local, open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds after its original site was destroyed and the family was displaced. By distributing seeds to farmers who return the same amount after harvest, the project has helped about 200 farmers while Gaza faces hunger, restrictions, water shortages and dangerous farmland.
