Souk el Tayeb

Overview

Souk El Tayeb has evolved since 2004 from an experimental farmers market promoting small-scale farmers and producers, to an organization working on both, national and international projects to promote and preserve culinary traditions, rural heritage and the natural environment.

Souk El Tayeb’s mission is to create environments that bring people of different regions and beliefs together – celebrating the land we love, supporting small-scale farmers and producers, encouraging organic, eco-friendly practices, contributing to local communities, leading research and educational campaigns about food traditions and heritage, and promoting organic foods and a healthy lifestyle.

Souk El Tayeb’s Capacity Building Program (CBP) aims to empower small scale farmers, producers, cooks and underprivileged communities by providing them with necessary skills and know-how to allow them to become economically independent. By this token, the program also seeks to protect and revive the culinary traditions of concerned target beneficiaries. Embedded within the CBP program is the inextricable aim of peace building; “Make Food Not War”.
