Farmers in Saudi Arabia’s Najran region are using organic cultivation to care for their land while preserving crops and agricultural knowledge passed down through generations.
In a report published on 11 November, the Saudi Press Agency described growers combining modern irrigation with natural soil inputs to conserve water and support soil quality.
Keeping farming knowledge alive
The region produces fruit, vegetables, dates and grains. Agricultural support programmes help farmers understand organic certification and improve opportunities for locally grown produce.
Growers are also exploring ways to turn crop residues and other organic material into useful soil amendments. Alongside these practices, efforts to maintain traditional wheat varieties are helping carry Najran’s farming heritage forward.
