STORIES FOR THE SOURCE
Interview with Hammadi Belaid, Kairouan, Sidi Amor Bouhajla.
With the current situation in Tunisia, we felt it was important to share this interview with Hammadi, recorded during the 2025 harvest in Kairouan with and .of.mornag . A respected figure in his community, his story is shared by farmers across Tunisia - families navigating economic pressure, environmental change and an increasingly uncertain future.
Since filming, the summer heat of 2026 has brought Tunisia closer to breaking point. A harsh personal reminder of why our mission statement of “REAL HARISSA” matters… because behind it are real people, real communities and real livelihoods.
As we head back to Tunis, we’re looking forward to seeing Hammadi again, alongside the farmers, smokers and suppliers who make this work possible.
Stories from the source matter. So does knowing where the food we enjoy comes from and who it supports.
