Milpa: Growing Food in Harmony with Nature

Nebraska farmer Graham Christensen teams up with members of Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim, a local Maya community center, to plant and harvest a milpa garden. Milpa, the ancient Indigenous tradition of intercropping, provides multiple benefits to the grower and the community, as well as the soil, the broader ecosystem and the long-term health of our planet.

Just how my grandfather used to grow his garden. Beautiful to see that people are trying to bring back old farming knowledge.
