"In 2005-2006 I spent eight months in Peru documenting the work of a British-run NGO, The Cusichaca Trust, which records current use of and encourages the restoration of ancient farming methods in terraced communities in the Andes. They also run development programs: putting in running water, teaching nutrition, organizing community focus groups to talk about what kind of work needs to be done to grow the local economy."

Be sure to watch the amazing slide show and take not of those incredible eye hoes, some used in place of shovels, really short-handled.
