Golden harvest terraces glow, bright green rows show plants halfway to maturity. The cycle never stops. One family's great-grandmother planted these same slopes, her hands shaping berms that hold water and soil. Her granddaughter works them now, and her great-granddaughter will care for them next. The forest above provides what the terraces need: steady water, stable soil, clean air. The terraces give back, buffer zones that protect the forest, income that makes preservation possible, reason for communities to stay. This isn't progress versus tradition. It's both, moving forward together.
