Brief About The Project: 

A center that aims to develop agriculture in Battir and other Palestinian villages through research, education and awareness fields. Battir located on the border between the Palestinian areas and Israeli settlements. It was an agricultural production plant, but as a result of separation, Battir lands was cut in favor of settlement expansion, leading to a decline in agricultural employment, low agricultural productivity and Israeli products entered to local markets.The vision is to raise agricultural productivity, strengthen the Palestinian presence and thus protect the land from settlement.
