Heritage of the Milpa

Forests are often called the lungs of our planet, vital not just for the air we breathe but for countless ecosystems they support. In the heart of Yucatán, an age-old farming practice, the milpa system, stands as a beacon of sustainable agriculture and forest conservation. UNDP Climate and Forests' new short-documentary explores the untold story of rural women, the true stewards of this tradition and the milpa system.
