Milpa is a traditional agricultural system used primarily in Mesoamerica, particularly by indigenous communities. It involves the practice of rotating crops, typically including maize, beans, and squash, to maintain soil fertility and reduce pests. Farmers clear a section of forest, plant their crops, and after a few years, allow the land to rest and regenerate. This method promotes biodiversity and sustainable farming practices. The milpa system is not only a way to grow food but also a cultural practice that fosters community and preserves traditional knowledge. It plays a vital role in the livelihoods of many rural families in the region.
