                <media:description>A picture taken on August 14, 2016 shows a detail of a pistachio tree at a farm in Izadabad, a village in the southern Iranian Kerman province.In Kerman province in southern Iran, cities have grown rich from pistachios, but time is running out for the industry as unconstrained farming and climate change take a devastating toll. Some of Hassan Ali Firouzabadi&apos;s pistachio trees have been around long enough to remember the golden age of Shah Abbas in the 17th century, but the leaves have turned yellow-green from the salty water he now dredges up. / AFP / ATTA KENARE / TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ERIC RANDOLPH         (Photo credit should read ATTA KENARE/AFP/Getty Images)</media:description>
