Peas in the north

I wish I could have had the headline Peace in the north, but peas will have to do.
Today I drove to two villages outside Jenin to take photos of snow peas being cultivated in green houses there. This is all part of ANERA’s Food Security Program, where we train farmers in producing high quality vegetables, and help their cooperatives to set up contacts for export. They also receive the actual green houses.
I went with our colleague Naser, and luckily, Femke could join too. It was a nice day out in the field.
