Up in Smoke Documentary: Honduran farmers transform families' fortunes

 

​

In this second video of a three-part series of short films based around the documentary Up In Smoke, we look further into how a sustainable way of agriculture might replace slash-and-burn farming, which is destructive to the rainforest. An organic method of farming might also provide greater financial security for small farmers and revitalize the ecosystem in which it is implemented. Watch documentary here
