Palestinians are people of the land, and plants serve as an integral part of this connection. But what happens when this relationship is severed? In this knowledge share, we will examine ancestral plants and the role they play in Palestinian food and land-based culture. Together we’ll move through the history of foraging and generations-old culinary traditions, while discussing the devastating effects that genocide, forced famine and mass displacement can have on these practices. We will learn about how Palestinians on the land are preserving these traditions, and ways of remembering in the diaspora.
