EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rolling hills and rugged mountains of Fier, in the Republic of Albania, lies the ancient ruins of Apollonia. This rural landscape showcases the harmonious coexistence of history and modern agriculture, as the agricultural sector continues to play a significant role in the local economy. The parceled farmland, dotted with smallholdings, stretches out as far as the eye can see, a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local farmers. The dryland farming in this region is characterized by the exploitation of the land, with farmers meticulously tilling the soil to prepare it for planting. The agricultural landscape of Fier is a patchwork quilt of various crops, with fields of wheat, corn, and sunflowers interspersed with vineyards and orchards. The farmers, dressed in traditional Albanian attire, can be seen working tirelessly to ensure a bountiful harvest. As the summer sun beats down on the fields, the scent of freshly mown hay fills the air, signaling the beginning of the haymaking season. The mown parcels, now golden in color, are left to dry in the sun before being collected and stored for use as animal fodder during the winter months. The mountainous terrain of Fier provides a unique challenge for the farmers, who must navigate the steep slopes and rocky terrain to cultivate their land. Despite the challenges, the agricultural sector remains a vital part of the local economy, with the primary sector contributing significantly to Albania's European Union accession bid. This photograph captures the essence of rural life in Fier, a place where history and tradition intertwine with modern agriculture, and where the dedication of the farmers ensures the continuation of a proud and resilient way of life.
