The people of Rojava and North and East Syria use imaginative methods to widen agricultural production. 

The massive attacks carried out by the Turkish army and its mercenaries on agriculture are in fact threatening production in fields outside the cities.

People therefore try to produce vegetables on alternative sites. While it is normal in Rojava to grow vegetables and fruit in parks, other unused areas are now being converted into vegetables gardens and cultivated fields.

In Qamishlo people got together to clean up a garbage site and turned it into a vegetable garden.

They run the newly created vegetable garden together and grow products necessary to feed themselves and their neighbors.

Hisên Mihemed Salih, one of the participants in the project explains: "We started this project two months ago. We first collect all the garbage, then we cleaned the ground and dug it up. Then we started planting vegetables and watering the field." 
 

Salih proudly added: "We have already produced tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and okra."
