​​​​​AUB’s Land Food Recovery Initiative is teaming up with Lebanese NGO Offrejoie on the Karantina Land Food Recovery project. The goal of this project is to introduce sustainable food practices and create open spaces that contribute to the long-term food security and mental and social well-being of communities in Karantina, an area that was especially badly damaged by the August 4 explosion and is home to many disadvantaged communities. The immediate priority is to improve food security by establishing linkages between food producers and the Karantina community, developing a community kitchen where local community members can cook hot meals on site, setting up a community garden, and encouraging urban farming.

• Set up, operate and maintain the community kitchen, including building materials and food items 
• Set up, operate, and maintain the community garden, including gardening and plants
• ​​Provide financial support to local community members working in the community kitchen and garden
