Israeli farmers are facing financial catastrophe after two years of war on their lands.
Israeli farms, foreign field workers, and agricultural infrastructure were explicitly targeted on October 7. In the ensuing war, our farms continued to come under direct fire. Many farmers risked their lives working the land - often without sufficient manpower, since over 90% of agricultural workers fled the country in fear, (many of whom still have yet to return). A large number of farmers were completely barred from accessing their fields for prolonged periods because they lie within high-risk border areas and are effectively under de facto enemy threat. Irrigation lines were cut, crops and trees withered and died, fields were burnt and damaged, setting farmers back years before they can turn profit again.
The crisis facing the farms is a crisis of food security and border safety for all of Israel, but The government has yet to step in with support.Your donation will help us keep our heroic farmers financially afloat as they navigate the devastating loss of their land, their produce, their workforce, and their loved ones. Your donation can help keep these farms - and our last physical barrier of defense - from falling into enemy hands.
