Through this initiative, the Community Soil Care Clinic will serve as a hub for soil restoration and farmer education, promoting environmental recovery and agricultural resilience in post-conflict SouthLebanon. The project purpose is to build the capacities of the local communities in developing, field-testing and documenting bioremediation methodologies adapted to local conditions in contaminated agricultural lands in the s…
