“The Role of Community Support in Achieving Food Sovereignty” - Series of online Mujawarat to develop position paper

Within our endeavor as Dalia Association,  to present the issue of food sovereignty as a principle and practice in Palestine, and to gather the efforts of the actors in the field to come up with a clear collective approach towards food sovereignty in Palestine, we partnered with the Heinrich Böll Foundation - Palestine and Jordan, to conduct a series of mujawarat, discussions, and dialogues on the subject of national food sovereignty. With the purpose of conducting a study and formulating a position paper on the subject, in addition to another study on the reality of farmers in the border areas of the Gaza Strip from the perspective of food sovereignty.

In July and August 2020, and as a first step in the development phase of the position paper and the research paper on national food sovereignty, we organized four Mujawarat and consultations session via our Zoom online platform, with several actors in the field, including specialists and academics, various agricultural and development institutions, community leaders, and farmers, activists,  in addition to agricultural unions and village councils.

We thank everyone who participated in these sessions.
