"Research Paper: "Palestinian National Food Sovereignty in Light of the Colonial Context

Dalia Association, in cooperation with Heinrich Böll Foundation- Palestine & Jordan, presents the research paper titled “Palestinian National Food Sovereignty in Light of the Colonial Context,” which aimed at identifying the priorities of work on achieving national food Sovereignty in light of the political, and socio-economic factors in Palestine, particularly in light of the deteriorating agricultural reality in Palestine resulting from the Israeli colonial practices on Palestinian lands and seizing its resources on one hand, and the unclear vision amongst political actors and decision-makers to empower and support the resilience of national food producers in Palestine on the other. That is not to mention the existing global context that seeks to commoditize food by focusing on quantity rather than quality and health to accumulate capital and entrench control over food, which will ultimately lead to controlling people.
