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!
