Yesterday September 29 was an occasion to celebrate the "Keepers of the Land": local farmers, mouneh producers, women cooks... custodians of our heritage and traditions. The "Keepers of the Land" farmers' market that took place yesterday at the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences at the American  University of Beirut, gathered food producers and artisans from different Lebanese regions, who came to display and sell their products.
