The CDA Gourmet Wine Word of the Week - Dry Farming

Dry farming is a method of crop production in arid or semi-arid regions that relies on the efficient storage and use of limited moisture in the soil. In other words, it's growing crops without irrigation, or with very little irrigation. Dry farming is a sustainable and climate-resilient way to grow food in regions with limited water resources.
