Description
On a hillside in Tunisia's northwestern highlands, women scour a sun-scorched field for the wild herbs they rely on for their livelihoods, but droughts and rising temperatures are making it ever harder to find the precious plants. "If I compare our current production with that of three years ago, I can say that there is a considerable gap. Today, we produce half of what we used to, or even only a third," laments Mabrouka Athimni who heads a local collective of women herb harvesters named "Al Baraka" ("Blessing").
