Life on the farm in St Monica, Leribe, Lesotho – Episode 4 – The Milpa

posted in: St Monica
New step toward autonomy: with the help of the crop manager, young people put their knowledge of agroecology into practice.
This film shows the setting up of a Milpa plot, with the principle of the 3 sisters: Corn, climbing beans and cucurbits share the same space, each benefiting from the benefit of the other, and allowing to maximize resources on a given surface area, while limiting evaporation, and thus limiting water requirements.

Mini-serie by Alexandre Berger.
