From Our Land, the Story Begins… and with Agriculture, the Heartbeat Continues

Lebanon’s agricultural lands have long been the silent witnesses of our resilience, the cradle of our history, and the lifeline of our rural communities. Today, with hope rooted deep in our soil, the Ministry of Agriculture is launching a bold national campaign:
“Agriculture Is the Earth’s Heartbeat”
(#Agriculture_Is_the_Earths_Heartbeat)

This campaign isn’t just a slogan—it’s a call to action. It is a roadmap to revive Lebanon’s agricultural sector, empower local farmers, and restore the critical role of agriculture in our economy, food security, and rural development.

A Roadmap for Revival

In the face of multiple crises, the Lebanese agricultural sector has suffered deeply—from climate stress and soaring production costs, to market access challenges and migration from rural areas. Yet the sector holds untapped potential, not just to feed our people, but to rebuild livelihoods and restore dignity.

This new national initiative sets clear priorities:

  • Support small and medium-scale farmers with direct aid and fair access to markets

  • Promote sustainable and climate-smart farming to protect our land and water

  • Empower rural youth and women to participate in agri-business innovation

  • Improve infrastructure and irrigation networks in neglected farming zones

  • Strengthen Lebanon’s food sovereignty through local production

The Heartbeat of Our Nation

As Minister of Agriculture [insert minister’s name] stated during the launch, “We believe that the heartbeat of Lebanon begins in its soil. Agriculture is not a past to remember—it is a future to build.”

This campaign is more than policy—it is a movement to reconnect people to the land, to rebuild rural life, and to sow seeds of sustainability, equity, and resilience.

Join the Movement

Whether you’re a farmer, consumer, entrepreneur, or advocate, you have a role to play. Support local produce. Share this campaign. Innovate. Advocate. The heartbeat of Lebanon is in your hands—and in our soil.

This edition of Al Hima magazine weaves together inspiring stories of nature conservation and community resilience, highlighting how Lebanon is being stitched back to life—one Hima at a time. The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) continues its mission to preserve the country’s natural heritage by empowering local communities. A cornerstone of this effort is the BioConnect project, funded by the European Union, which has achieved three national firsts: Lebanon’s first natural park (Upper Matn), first geological park (Shouf-Jezzine), and first endowment Hima (Btekhnay).
