BETHLEHEM — Walid Salman has converted a narrow lot in Bethlehem into a hydroponic farm, growing herbs in water pipes after losing his job when the local tourism sector collapsed, Palestine News Network reported. The improvised operation represents an attempt to sustain himself amid economic hardship in the West Bank city.
Salman's initiative reflects broader efforts across Palestinian territories to develop agricultural alternatives in the face of economic disruption and displacement.
