Agricultural services program
|
This program aims at improving income for agricultural and rural communities, in short term, it focuses on increasing agricultural areas through land rehabilitation, construction of agricultural roads, and increasing the availability of water resources. Moreover, this program involves increasing the marketing of agricultural production through organizing local and international marketing contracts for farmers, providing them with training, and establishing Centers for marketing services.
UAWC has also worked on developing sustainable agricultural techniques and practices for improving local seeds, food processing, integrated prevention, complementary irrigation, farm management, animal feeding,
animal health care, and bee breeding. All of these topics were stressed upon though agricultural guidance and extension, agricultural training, practical demonstration, and through the provision of agricultural inputs for modern techniques.
To increase the area of agricultural lands, UAWC has worked on establishing and rehabilitating water harvesting cisterns, and irrigation networks.
For the past decade, UAWC has been implementing different projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip despite the Israeli violations of Palestinian rights, Palestinian lands, and the Palestinian agricultural infrastructure.
