ELZUBI – Urban Expansion Consumes Farmland, Food Security the Greatest Loser

ELZUBI stresses that the issue lies in law and planning, not morality. Supporting wheat prices rewards crops but does not protect land.

Without such measures, every building permit in the Hauran plain becomes a food security decision with generational consequences.
