من داريا إلى حقول ريف دمشق.. فلاحو المدينة يواصلون زراعة القمح

In a field spanning approximately 25 dunams in the Ashrafieh al-Abbasi area of ​​rural Damascus, farmer Nizar al-Azab stands near his workers, who take turns feeding the threshing machine with wheat stalks harvested days earlier. The golden grains pile up in heaps, while the straw flies to the other side of the machine, ready to be packed and transported as livestock feed. Although this scene seems far removed from Daraya, it has become familiar to many of the city's farmers. During the years of displacement and their aftermath, they resorted to renting agricultural land in Ashrafieh al-Abbasi, Deir Khabiyah, Darousha, and other areas of western and southern rural Damascus to cultivate wheat, barley, and other crops requiring large areas. This shift occurred after agricultural land within Daraya itself became scarce due to urban expansion and the fragmentation of land ownership. #EnabBaladi https://enabbaladi.net/
