Milpa’s plot in Saint-Paul, Lesotho

Since 2017, The Ivory Foundation has been supporting deaf and hard of hearing youth in Lesotho. 5 students trained in agriculture have been placed on a new semi autonomous farm. 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.
