the essay tells the story of the traditional Palestinian farming practices, as well as the farmers that are contributing to the conservation of these practices
“Agriculture is the basis of every culture. There is no place on earth where this is more true than Palestine…But the relationship between the farmers and the land goes far beyond the materiality of earning an income. It is an experience; it is a poetic experience between the land and the people who live in it. It is give and take, an exchange, a relationship. This poetic relationship between the land, the trees, and the people is something to nurture and something so beautiful to keep and learn from” – Nasser Abufarha
