A farmer collects fresh walnuts in crates during harvest season in a field in Darkush town in Syria's Idlib province on September 2, 2024. The perennial walnut tree, cultivated around the Mediterranean since Roman times, has become a traditional crop in Syria and a main source of income for farmers who trade its seeds and durable wood, a livelihood which has been threatened in recent years due to this communal crop's high water consumption, costly care, and tough harvest amid climate change and conflict.
