El Barde Farm

The El Barde Farm is located in the Bakool region of southwestern Somalia, near the Ethiopian border. This area is geographically characterized by arid plains, which makes farming a challenge met with great perseverance. The farm focuses primarily on the production of sorghum and maize, which serve as staple foods for the local population. Since there are no major permanent rivers in the region, farmers rely on seasonal rainfalls and laboriously dug water holes. El Barde is also a strategic trading post, as it lies on the routes connecting Ethiopian and Somali markets. Despite the difficult climatic conditions, the farm plays an important role in reducing dependence on food imports. The local community has developed adapted cultivation techniques over time to make the most of the sparse soils. Livestock rearing complements agricultural activities and provides an additional safeguard against crop failures.
