Desert farming in Jordan under Nasser Ben Jamil grows crops
In Is desert near Amman, Sheikh Nasser Ben Jamil supervises a desert farming project turning rocky land into productive fields. Nearly 5 000 donums are planted with cotton potatoes onions and vegetables aided by underground rivers and irrigation. The estate hosts 427 Bedouin families and aims to build a 500 milking cow herd and a 100 000 flock as protein needs rise. The project costs about 125 dollars per donum and relies on private funding with government support for knowhow and equipment.
