Episode 184: Nasser Abufarha and Canaan Fair Trade

The Checkout speaks with award-winning olive oil producer and fair trader Nasser Abufarha about war, regenerative organic agriculture and the deep foodways of Palestine.

“Canaan works with over 1,000 artisan family farms spanned across 43 different villages. We are engaged year-round with these communities, committed to long term partnerships with fair trade principles that ensure transparency, full direct payment, fair prices and purchase guarantee. Canaan was founded on the principles of empowering traditional farming communities. Agriculture is the most significant sector in Palestine and we seek to ensure its viability within the modern economy. We're committed to increase the value returns of such farms, invest in their communities and make them competitive in the marketplace while carving them a space in the modern world.” https://canaanpalestine.com/pages/about
