Selingue, Mali, 26th April 2015; Moussa Troare, 30, married with one child. He is growing ocra and this year’s crop has been affected by insects from a badly-maintained neighbouring plot. Next year he plans to grow maize instead. He also has another field where he grows rice, and the two plots are enough to feed his family. He tried mining once but didn’t like it and won’t be doing it again.
