APN launched the "Supporting Farmers of Bethlehem" project in collaboration with the Bethlehem Farmers' Union to plant 11,060 fruit trees on 252 dunams of land. The project targeted 63 farmers, who support 470 family members.

Also, 148 dunams of land were planted with local kusa (zucchini) and faqoos (cucumber) seeds, and 19 dunams of land were fully rehabilitated.The project was launched in a drive to enhance Palestinian farmers’ resilience and preserve indigenous seeds. These local seeds are slowly disappearing as a result of the proliferation of hybrid and genetically modified commercial seeds. In addition, the aim of the project was to protect Palestinian farmers’ land from confiscation, particularly those adjacent to Israeli settlements in the towns of Husan,Al Khader, Wadi Fukin, Battir, Beit Jala.
