Hotels-live.com - @marcusbleasdale Evidence of slash and burn farming on the edge of the forests of the Lukusuzi National park in Lundazi area of Zambia. It is an undeveloped national park, but full of wildlife. It is these pristine forests and savannahs that need protecting from the encroaching farming community who are trying to steal land from the park by burning and slashing trees to create new farmland as the soil becomes tired through mismanagement and bad farming practices. #COMACO is teaching farmers new methods that mean they don't over farm and ruin soils for future crops. They use natural farming methods and the farmers yields are increasing over 300%. The farmers and their families don't need to cut down trees and prepare new land which protects the wildlife and environment. In addition the farmers have more income to educate their children and secure their families against hunger. @Hotelslive by natgeo instagram.com/p/rGtDDYoVSJ/ Follow #Instagram @Hotelspaschers instagram.com/hotelspaschers and @Voyageslive #Twitter #TeamFollowBack #Natgeo #Voyage #Travel #TeamFollowBack #TFB #FollowTrick www.facebook.com/125048940862168/photos/a.801751693191886... via Hotels-live.com www.facebook.com/pages/p/125048940862168 via http://flic.kr/p/ov6ozW
