The workshop focused on explaining step (2-1) of the project, which involves planning an awareness-raising field visit to Nablus Governorate/Al-Nasariya town. The aim of the visit is to learn about modern agricultural technologies and promote sound agricultural practices, thereby contributing to the development of agricultural production and achieving economic viability and profitability for farmers.

This workshop was implemented in cooperation with the Cooperative Society Behind the Wall - Qalqilya, as part of joint efforts to support the resilience of farmers and enable them to adopt modern and sustainable production methods, in line with the Ministry of Agriculture’s plans aimed at developing the agricultural sector and enhancing food security.
