After the main harvest, we harness the land's natural moisture to cultivate a vital second crop, ensuring food and oil for our families.
By relying on traditional farming methods and saving our own seeds, we ensure food security and healthy crops without external inputs.
By carefully collecting and preserving seeds from our first harvest, we ensure a second, nutritious crop and maintain our traditional farming methods for generations.
Even without irrigation, our traditional seeds and old farming methods ensure our crops ripen, providing food for our homes.
