Wheat Fields of West Jerusalem 🌾

Just outside Jerusalem's western suburbs lies a patchwork of farmland, nestled between national parks 🏞️. Though located just 20km from recent Independence Day wildfires, these fields show no burn scars or pink fire retardant—a testament to the fire-resistant olive trees (unlike flammable eucalyptus) in the 50+ year old surrounding forests. 🌱 Crops & Cultivation: • Golden wheat fields • Vineyards 🍇 and olive groves 🫒 • Managed by nearby moshav cooperatives (though land-use laws keep shifting!) 💧 Water Wonders: Israel's agricultural success stems from solving irrigation challenges 🚰—though still grain-dependent. While occupying Syria's Golan Heights for water security, today 90% of drinking water comes from desalination 🌊. The iconic "National Water Carrier" pipeline from the Sea of Galilee now sits mostly idle. 📸 Swipe for more golden harvest moments! #Israel #Jerusalem #MiddleEastAgriculture #WheatHarvest #LandOfMilkAndHoney #SustainableFarming #RuralLife #EarthDayEveryday 🌍✨
