The date palm origins can be traced back to the Neolithic era and is believed to have been cultivated since 4000 BCE.

Tamar Heritage works to present the variety of the date pam fruit, its support to civilizations and today's link to heritage, culture, diversity and art of food.

Our community facilitates lerning more about all the countries that produce dates, the artists that have worked on presenting the dates in their art, and the companies who have made these fruits available globally.

Through this initiative we see the contribution to the sustainable development with the inovative solutions for local communities to build their economic empowerment with the fruit of life of their ancestors.

By this food diplomacy we give a hand to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda and the 17 SDGs.

Tamar Heritage was part of ArtWeek Boston in the spring of 2017.
