With the climate change and the weather
becoming hotter every year farmers from Bolivia are changing their traditional
farming methods to be able to grow their crops in present day. One of the major
changes is the beginning of underground farming which is called walipinis. Walipinis
are basically brick huts that are built on altiplano which help grow crops with
the harsh weather including droughts, flash floods and high temperatures. These
underground huts are great especially for farmers because “compared to
conventional greenhouses, walipinis are considerably cheaper and more effective
for this part of the world”. Although with great rewards that walipinis can
help your crop, it is a difficult to excavate it since it’s a lot of work to
dig up.
