Nadia Barhoum is the founder of a seed-saving and land stewardship initiative called Thurayya. She began farming in 2019, following a desire to be closer to the land in the way her family had been for generations in their small village of Al Malha, Palestine (they were ethnically cleansed from their village in 1948 by Zionist armed militias). Through Thurayya, she wants to uphold and restore relationships to the land that have been severed by ongoing occupation and erasure in Palestine and Afrasia.
