a method of farming in semiarid areas without the aid of irrigation.
Dry farming is also called dryland farming. It is a type of farming where the crops are cultivated without irrigation in arid areas. Farmers typically grow winter wheat, which is a drought-resistant crop.
Without water irrigation, the desert areas would be too arid, and food plants would be unable to grow as a farm crop.

If there is not enough rain, then additional water (i.e., irrigation) is required.
The answer is that they could not get water to some of the farm areas but they eventually overcame that by using irrigation.
Irrigation allows for farming in some desert areas.
Farming in arid and semi arid areas using water harvesting techniques is neither reclamation or ecological restoration. It is called irrigation.

In farming communities using fertilizers ,in Mediterranean Europe and in agricultural areas using irrigation
Yes, if you mean the western US. Since the natural climate tends to be drier, many areas depend on irrigation to grow crops. Idaho, for example, grows nearly half the nation's supply of potatoes, yet could produce few or even none without irrigation.
Growing crops without irrigation is what dryland farming is.Specifically, the practice can be particularly effective in areas where rainfall is insufficient or limited. It discourages erosion and runoff by controlling compaction. It eliminates soil moisture competition by controlling weeds. It protects soil fertility by avoiding water-guzzling fertilizers.
