Farming is difficult in much of southwest Asia primarily because much of the region is covered by desert and lacks fresh water. The arid climate, limited rainfall, and scarcity of water resources make agricultural activities challenging. Additionally, the topography of the region, which includes mountains, can also restrict farming activities in certain areas. While some countries in the region may import food, the fundamental challenges of water scarcity and arid land significantly impact agriculture overall.
