Brazil: Coal to Crops

From the creator

United Nations, July 2012 - The North-East of Brazil is the most densely populated semi-arid region in the world. Little rainfall and cyclic droughts have forced people to resort to illegal charcoal production, stripping the region of its forests. A new project promoting agro-ecology is showing farmers how to make a living from the land while conserving the environment. UNIA#1354 script: http://www.un.org/webcast/pdfs/unia1354.pdf
