Since 2019, Lebanon has been passing through a tremendous economic crisis which has caused significant social and environmental damage, highlighting issues in the conventional food system model driven by agroindustry.
Agroecology in Lebanon: Analyzing the current scene and exploring upscaling potentials is a publication built on the understanding that agroecology– an alternative food system vision– can be a tool to build a more equitable food system. This research is interested in how agroecology as a framework (specifically one that considers food sovereignty) is being applied in Lebanon, with an underlying question: how can it be upscaled from scattered, isolated initiatives into a more cohesive, cross-country approach which influences the agricultural and food practices and policies in Lebanon?
It is available for download in both English and Arabic.
Agroecology, from Past to Future is a documentary film published by JIBAL that traces practices of agroecology through their historical progression in Lebanon.
