This statement is not true. While dry lands may not be suited for intensive agriculture, some agriculture can still take place. For example, dry land farming techniques such as crop rotation and water conservation strategies can allow for the production of crops such as wheat, barley, and sorghum. Additionally, pastoralism (raising livestock) is a common way of life in many dry land regions.
