This report, prepared and released in December 2024, is part of ‘Gaza Foodways’ (2021-2026) an action research project with the Palestinian Hydrology Group, the Gaza Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Platform (GUPAP), the University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza, and the Centre for Agroecology, Water & Resilience at Coventry University (UK). It is funded by IDRC in Canada.

Gaza Foodways [towards resilient women-led urban agroecological food systems] is a transdisciplinary research collaboration intended to contribute toward a ‘just transition’ to diversified low-carbon urban food and farming systems with a gender transformative focus. Together with the Urban Women’s Agripreneur Forum (UWAF), our emphasis has been on supporting new, and strengthening existing, networks of micro and small-scale producers and processors that restore eroded knowledge, recover lost resources and rebuild bonds between people and the landscape upon which they depend.
