Growing food crops in the drylands (Willem)

It should be a basic principle that food aid starts with the construction of a small kitchen garden for every family in the drylands.  If it is possible to offer such a small garden to families in refugee camps in the Sahara desert, it is feasible everywhere.

One needs only a small fence, a minimal quantity of a water and fertilizer stocking compound, a minimal volume of irrigation water and some seeds.  Imagine the low costs for offering fresh food all year long to rural families in the drylands.

Is this really possible ?  Well judge yourself when seeing the pictures below :
