From Destruction To Reconstruction: The Revival Of Al-Qarara Baladi Seed Bank
It is a community initiative and a model of family farming aimed at protecting and preserving local seeds.
Gaza Urban and Peri Urban Agriculture Program
Sept 2004
In the heart of Gaza, amidst the ruins of destruction, a story of resilience and regeneration unfolds. Al-Qarara Baladi Seed Bank, once a beacon of hope for agriculture, faced a devastating blow when it was destroyed during the ongoing aggression on Gaza since October 2023. Despite the displacement, Hanadi, her sister Mona and their father embarked on an inspiring journey to revive their dream of preserving the region’s agricultural heritage (Baladi seeds).
But this dream wasn’t born out of necessity alone; it was the continuation of a vision first nurtured by a dedicated family, Hanadi Muhanna and her family, from Al-Qarara. Before the destruction, Hanadi and her family had passionately gathered various seed types within the original “Baladi Seed Bank” on his land in Khan Younis. Hanadi and her sister, Mona, are active members of the Urban Agriculture Entrepreneurs Forum, which was formed as a community space for exchanging experiences and knowledge by the Gaza Urban Agriculture Forum.
