Across Syria, farmers and rural communities have long sustained land, seeds, and knowledge amid violence, dispossession, and ecological stress. Agroecological practices did not begin after the fall of the Assad regime; they have endured through local networks, everyday resistance, and deep care for land and livelihoods.

Today, a new political moment is opening space for farmers to gather, connect, learn, and speak openly about reclaiming people-centred agricultural futures. As Syria confronts war’s aftermath, displacement and return, and accelerating climate breakdown, this online event brings together perspectives rooted in lived experience and grassroots practice. It asks urgent questions about who controls land and food systems, whose knowledge counts, and how food sovereignty can underpin social justice and collective survival.

Ansar Jasim is a food sovereignty activist and Lara is a photographer and food sovereignty activist from Suwaida.

We are looking forward to share this evening with with agricultural practitioners, food rights activists and friends from the food sovereignty movements. You are warmly invited to join us and are welcome to share the invitation with your networks!

🌾 Online Event: Thai MIgrant Farmworkers in Israeli Agriculture 17.02.26 🌾

For decades, Israel’s agriculture has relied on migrant workers, almost all from Thailand, who often work under harsh and exploitative conditions. Similarly to Palestinian workers in Israel, they face low wages, unsafe workplaces, and limited rights, while systemic injustices leave them vulnerable and overlooked. Thai migrant agricultural workers have been central to Israel’s project of controlling and colonizing Palestinian land and have also been vulnerable to violence, including rocket fire, as well as kidnapping, injury and death on October 7th, 2023.

This online event explores, on the one hand, how Israel came to rely on these migrant agricultural workers and, on the other hand, how these workers survive, resist, and organize in the face of ongoing exploitation and systemic injustice.

Matan Kaminer is an anthropologist and a longtime activist on the Israeli radical left. He is a lecturer at Queen Mary University London and a board member at Academia for Equality.

We are looking forward to share this evening with with agricultural practitioners, food rights activists and friends from the food sovereignty movements. You are warmly invited to join us and are welcome to share the invitation with your networks!

The fate of the Sudanese city El Fasher reveals how starvation is deliberately used as a weapon of war, not a tragic by-product, but a calculated strategy of conquest and control. This online event explores how sieges are imposed, who sustains the war economy from abroad, how global powers respond and the historic conditions and current policies that create and sustain mass hunger. We will also hear how communities organise, resist, and struggle to secure food under extreme conditions.

Sara Abbas is a researcher active in solidarity work with the Sudanese revolution and women's mutual aid groups confronting the suffering caused by the war.

We are happy to share this important evening with agricultural practitioners, food rights activists and friends from the food sovereignty movements. You are warmly invited to join us and are welcome to share the invitation with your networks!
