Desert agriculture

Desert agriculture refers to the practice of cultivating crops in arid regions where water is scarce and the climate is harsh. Techniques often include using irrigation methods like drip systems, selecting drought-resistant crops, and improving soil quality to conserve moisture. Advances in technology such as hydroponics and greenhouse farming also play crucial roles. The goal is to maximize food production while minimizing water usage and environmental impact, making it possible to grow profitable crops in challenging conditions and to help address food security in dry areas.
