With the rising of population, demand for agricultural land and food production is risingtoo, while the natural resources (land and water) become more limited.Therefore, a state of conflict and competition over land and water resources has arisen andcontinues to prevail, since the agriculture sector has contributed to the over all incomeespecially women activities, provides people with most of their food needs and provideswork opportunity for those who were forbidden to go to Israel to work.The process of confiscation the land for the above reasons, follow these means: Landconfiscation for security needs included Jordan valley lands about 190 thousand donoms,Land confiscation in a claim of governmental lands which contributes about 13% from thearea of west bank, which is the most familiar, Land confiscation for establishingsettlements or expansion it, and to create by-pass roads for their use, and the settlementsthat founded from 1977 – 1983, with a total of 15165 donoms in Jenin area from 938028donoms ,and they are: Harmeesh, Hannaneet, Rehan, Shakeed, Mevodotan, Ganim, Qadim,Sa Nur, Homesh and Arraba Military PostAnd finally the most of the confiscated fertilized land was taken by the racial separationwall, and we aren't to forget the by-pass roads that connect settlements with green line(1948), these roads takes over 1650 donom, so we will focus in our study on the racialseparation wall in Jenin district.The overall objective of the research that’s conducted in the period from May 2004 to June2005, is studying the impact of land confiscation and the natural resources on theagriculture management systems in Jenin district to develop, determine and analyze themeasures of the socio - economic impacts from the use of limited land and water in suchway that improve and sustainable living standards of the farming population.For descriptive and comparative study, Information was collected by questionnairesthrough interviews in means of family survey, and secondary data from different sources.The family survey include the farmers in two areas, the selection of the locations dependedon the most affected families by the separation wall and the most confiscation of naturalresources, which led to escalate unemployment, so the locations in area 1 are Anin, AlTaybehand Zboba at the north west, Tura Ash Sharqeia and Al Gharbeia, Ya’bad, NazletAL-Sheikh Zeid, Om Dar, Al-Khuljan, Zabda and Daher Al- A'bed in area 2 at the southwest of Jenin.The process of the separation wall construction had a major economic impact, while therelative intensity of the impact varies by location and economic activity; its immediateeffects included the destruction or confiscation of agricultural land and assets: a total of1094 donoms just confiscated from 2068 donoms of the targeted group in the study ofconsidered area, that the farm income decreased in area 1 by 9.23% after the wall, since itdepends on lands in farming, while in area 2 they depend on animal breeding so thepercentage increases by 4.96%.And the reason is Inaccessibility to agricultural land like grazing lands (pastures) andassets, including water resources that are very expensive and not available. Addedlimitations on the mobility of people and goods (marketing by using of pass roads),therefore higher transactions costs: Marketing faces 67.68 % in area 1 and 66.67 % in area2 for farming production of farmers, the productivity is subjected to severe impacts fromthe political situation especially in area 2 for the animal production and in area 1 for oliveoil production. The alternative of Israeli markets is the wholesale market in Nablus orJenin, and a temporary one in Quabatia, with its extensive trade of large quantities ofagricultural products; as a result 65% of the farmers prefer to sell their goods and productsat the farm or in their homes.For our recommendation, the priority should be taken into consideration in most affectedvillages by land confiscation to improve all public services (education, health and basicinfrastructure) from all aspects, with a number of recommended actions could be applied todetermine the basic needs of compounds and different sites in Jenin district throughfocusing on negative aspects of the separation wall, so to minimize the damages or eveneliminate it, such as developing human resources and supporting the cooperative level asagricultural co-operatives, social services, and establishing active youth centers withvocational training for low income laborers.Encourage sectors that provide job opportunities to create new markets for Palestinianslabor forces through developing productive sector and agricultural sector by governmentaland NGO's (International or local) through:Establish new agricultural roads to ease the farmers transitions to their land and markets,rehabilitate new lands for planting, use consecutive planting, especially plastic housesnurseries, and develop some economical value crops like olive and tobacco, rehabilitate oldwater wells and small streams to elevate quality water and then increase the planting area,recycle water from plastic houses and home use to irrigate farms by using water harvestingsystem, establish profitable veteran clinics to provide health service for animal assets,rehabilitate pines and fields especially at the east part of the district and secure emergencyfood aid for those who have lost their homes and land due to the wall. And get advantageof international, national, and holly occasions to empower Palestinians about their nationaland social duties which achieve cooperative society
