A farmer shows a handful of cracked walnuts at home in Bayatis town west of Armanaz in Syria's Idlib province on September 3, 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.
