| dc.description | Unfavourable conditions due to an arid environment, access restrictions and a protracted crisis context have contributed to the fragility of local production systems in the West Bank, where most Bedouin families rely on livestock as their main source of income. Since 2011, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has been promoting the use of hydroponic technology (soil-less plant propagation) by vulnerable herders and their cooperatives, providing a low-cost, high quali ty source of fodder that is available year-round. This approach increases the profitability of livestock production and helps herders stay in business. | |
