the solution is to build terraces into the slopes, following the example of the incas in south america>> [speaking foreign language] before we knew about building terraces, the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point using manure or fertilizer. but now, whatever we use stays where it's meant to be. so the crops on the terraces are growing faster, and we have better harvests. >> now all the mountain villages here have built terraces. it's a time-consuming process. the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 meters deep. once complete, the ground then needs to rest for 3 months. sometimes there are unexpected obstacles. farmers have stumbled across unmarked graves left from the genocide in 1994, which killed around a millionon people. >> [speaking foreign language] we found bodies under this field of people killed during the genocide, so we didn't dig any furtheher. there used to be a house here. presumably there was a massacre and they just dumped all the bodies under there. we don't dig terraces in an area like that. >> a few valleys further on i
