SUMMARY:Citrus and Conflict: The Untold Story of the Jaffa Orange
DESCRIPTION:When considering the Israel-Palestine conflict\, fruit may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet\, what if fruit\, specifically the orange\, played a significant role in that story? In the late 19th century\, the Jaffa orange emerged as a thriving crop in Palestine\, gaining global recognition from royalty and celebrities. This lecture will explore the Jaffa orange’s transformation from a sought-after export to a symbol of cultural contestation\, providing valuable perspectives on how agriculture can both bridge and deepen divides. \nAbout the presenter: John Paap is an accomplished professional with over 17 years of experience in the fresh produce industry.
