Agriculture is spread on the banks of the Dades Valley, and was the main activity on which the oasis civilization was based. The oasis varies in the production of crops between legumes, grains, vegetables and fodder products, and is usually directed to self-consumption. The agricultural scenes represent an ancient human civilization, which reflects the close connection of man to the land and the subjugation of natural ingredients for his benefit by adopting simple local skills to ensure livelihood and continuity. The agricultural land carries an important symbolic value within the community, as it constitutes the main reason for carrying out various collective actions related to agricultural work. After the transformations and the cultural openness that have influenced the oasis, its products have declined…, the oasis products declined due to poor productivity and preoccupation with new economic activities. Agricultural activity is no longer the main pillar of the oasis economy, but has become a complement to major economic activities.
