In Lebanon, young people like Hadi Awada and Wissam Hourani are driving efforts to restore sustainable farming practices after extensive destruction from recent conflicts. Young farmer Hadi is determined to restore his family’s land to its former state using eco-friendly practices such as organic pesticides and composting, despite challenges from chemical warfare. Alongside him, Wissam is helping farmers transition away from outdated methods, focusing on reducing reliance on imports and promoting food sovereignty. Initiatives like Buzuruna Juzuruna are also revitalizing heirloom seed varieties, ensuring sustainable crops and reducing dependence on hybrid seeds. The Jafra Foundation empowers displaced Palestinians with agricultural education, fostering food self-sufficiency in refugee camps through small-scale farming and heirloom seed preservation.
Praise GOD for the young leaders who are empowering the people to do self-sufficient and sustainable agriculture in Lebanon. Pray for the success of their efforts to promote food security in the country (The Holy Bible, Psalm 74:17).
Pray for the LORD to heal and restore the land and the people in Lebanon. Pray for fruitful farming initiatives to improve the lives and livelihoods of the citizens and the refugees in the country (The Holy Bible, Psalm 118:25).
