In the hills surrounding Birzeit, GlocalShift supports farmers, cooperatives, and agri-entrepreneurs to strengthen food security and climate resilience.

The programme promotes sustainable farming practices, improved irrigation, and value-added food processing while creating employment opportunities for rural youth and women. Through access to finance, technical assistance, and market connections, participants increase yields, reduce waste, and expand local supply chains.

By investing in sustainable agriculture, we nourish both people and potential, ensuring that Palestinian farmers can cultivate livelihoods that endure.
