San Pedro Yepocapa (Guatemala), 18 July (EFE)(Camera: Esteban Biba) - A group of villages established on the western slopes of Guatemala's Fuego Volcano are using community-based agriculture, with irrigation technology and protection from the ashes, to overcome the economic and social ravages of the pandemic. With a life of constant uncertainty due to the presence of the volcano, which on June 3, 2018 destroyed communities on the adjacent slope, to the south, the Kaqchikel indigenous communities are defending themselves from the scarcity and outside contact with diverse vegetables protected by macro-tunnels and drip irrigation.FOOTAGE OF VILLAGE COMMUNITY IN GUATEMALA
