Farmers in a water-scarce area are preparing their lands for planting as the first rains fall, despite fears of a dry year. The area, which suffers from insufficient water supply, is experiencing issues with the cultivation of water-consuming crops. Farmers are calling for the legalization of carrot cultivation, while Ahmed Boukreizia, head of the Federation of Milk and Agricultural Products Producers, is criticizing the farmers' use of traditional plowing methods and advocating for direct cultivation to conserve water.
