| During this dry season, work on the demonstration farm continues without pause thanks to people like Alice, a local casual worker who is involved is involved in the cultivation of plantain (banana) trees, which cover approximately one hectare of land. Pruning is a fundamental operation at this time of year: the dry banana leaves that are removed are not discarded but strategically reused for mulching. This technique protects the soil from intense heat, maintaining the moisture necessary for the plants to continue to grow healthily despite the arid climate.
