This village has resisted several Israeli wars on Lebanon including the 2006 war that was ini- tiated in the Rose Valley, which is landmark only one kilometer away from Ramyah. Locals In Ramyah rely on Tobacco and Olive agriculture production respectively for their income. This project aims to strengthen the notion of Landscape of Resistance through the revitalization of the agricultural practices and enhancing the existing land- scape by adding certain element that enhance the visitors experience. This is thought to be done by providing a new sustainable agricultural system at the community level to enhance and diversify the agricultural practices and the level production. Accompa- nying that is the enhancement of the Landscape by providing different trails through- out the landscape of Ramyah, each serving for a purpose. Landscape trail, Border-trail- cultural trail and scenic trail. This is done to expose Ramyah to the region as an agricul- tural border village. Overall, both strategies are made to complement each-other and strengthen the notion of “Landscape of Resistance
