Dr Ollie Moore is an expert in the sociology of farming and food, and one of Ireland’s leading experts on food systems and champions of food justice. As a member of Talamh Beo, Ollie was invited by a farming development and advocacy organisation in Palestine to visit the West Bank and learn about what life is like for food producers in an area that is renowned for endless conflict and highly challenging living and working conditions.
It was a very eye opening and at times, difficult and emotional trip, and in this episode of Food Matters, Ollie joins Mick Kelly of GIY to share his experience. They talk about the fears he felt before going, the people he met and risky situations he found himself in during his time there, and what he has learned about food security and the resilience of the farmers and Palestinian people along the way.
