Thomson Reuters Foundation | November 12 – In this farming village an hour’s drive from the Kachin state capital of Myitkyina, a few families ended up with nothing to eat when fighting broke out near their farms at the end of last year, just before the harvest. Fighting also destroyed villages beyond Shwe Nyaung Pin.
Thomson Reuters Foundation | November 11, 2013 - When five farmers in this village started planting rice in a small plot in late June, they used younger seedlings and organic fertiliser, and transplanted the seedlings individually. Fellow villagers thought they had gone mad as their methods go against the grain.
