Farlete, Aragon, Spain. Terraces of dry-land wheat fields have transformed the arid valleys of the Sierra de Alcumbierre in northern Spain. There is not enough rain for a successful crop for most years, and the area is now dotted with abandoned farmhouses. Agriculture is heavily subsidized in Western Europe, where over 40% of the EU budget goes to support small-scale farmers and sustain rural communities.
