Saleh, like many others, faced numerous challenges in his agricultural pursuits, from harsh climate changes to the rising costs of production supplies and the shortage of essential resources. \u201cWe faced a severe shortage of seeds, and the cost of establishing an irrigation system was very high, making it difficult to maintain agricultural production,\u201d Saleh recalls. Despite these difficulties, he remained committed to the land, striving to improve his agricultural situation. His story, and that of many others, took a significant turn with the intervention of the From Food to Resilience project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18427\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18427\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-18427 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC01632-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al-Khoweira area, Sah District, Hadramout Governorate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Introducing Modern Agricultural Techniques<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to the efforts of the Food to Resilience project in supporting farmers in the Sah District, modern agricultural techniques were introduced for the first time, resulting in a significant shift in productivity. \u201cThe support we received through modern agricultural techniques profoundly impacted improving our production. We cultivated five hectares of land using these techniques, significantly increasing our productivity and raising our income,\u201d Saleh adds. The project\u2019s intervention led to a substantial increase in Saleh\u2019s income and productivity, demonstrating the tangible benefits of the project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-18457 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fmfyemen.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC00551-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The agricultural engineer provides innovative tips and solutions to maintain crop quality and increase yield<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Empowering Farmers and Expanding Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The project\u2019s goal is to create an environment that empowers farmers to become self-sufficient in earning their livelihoods through a series of activities. These activities include rehabilitating agricultural lands, upgrading irrigation channels and water sources, providing agricultural training and consultations, and supplying seeds and drip irrigation systems. Additionally, innovative agricultural techniques like agricultural tunnels were introduced. \u201cWe started cultivating eggplant, zucchini, onions, and green peppers. We are now in the harvesting phase of eggplant and distributing it to the markets,\u201d Saleh proudly says.
