Recovery Initiative

Dedicated to orchard and vineyard restoration

Region: Israel
Sector: Orchards & Vineyards
Status: Active

ReGrow the North provides targeted replanting and innovation grants to farming communities whose orchards and vineyards were totally destroyed during the conflict.

Orchards and vineyards require 4 years to reach full productivity and so timely replanting is critical. Beyond restoring production, the program also supports the adoption of advanced agricultural techniques, including higher-density planting, trellising systems, and protective netting. RePlant the North allows communities to not only recover what was lost, but to rebuild more resilient agricultural systems for a stronger northern border.

THE MODEL

Project Change Drivers

ReGrow’s model advances projects through connected Field, Innovation, and Policy drivers. RePlant the North primarily engages the Field and Policy drivers.

At the field level, farmers are able to replant damaged orchards and vineyards, restore productive capacity, and begin rebuilding the agricultural livelihoods that northern communities depend on.

At the policy level, the project highlights the long recovery timeline of permanent crops and demonstrates why agricultural recovery funding must account not only for immediate losses, but for the years of production, income, and community stability at risk when orchards and vineyards are destroyed.

IMPACT STORIES

This is who I am. We are connected to the land. I can’t imagine any alternative but to rebuild. We have nowhere else we would rather be.

Paul Stahl, Kibbutz Bar’am

With projects like this [Replant the North], we are rebuilding Zionism.

Yossi Kamisa, Moshav Netua

ReGrow’s early support is like oxygen to the farmers, offering much-needed relief after almost two years of silence.

Hagay Snir, Ministry of Agriculture

When the ReGrow team came to visit our orchards I was deeply moved. I finally felt that I had people who were truly helping us… you have reminded us that our community is not alone.
