Drought Forces Malagasies to Rethink Eating Habits

By SG Editor·
Drought impacts Madagascar's landscape, forcing Malagasies to adapt their eating habits due to water.

A herd of goats and cattle walk along a dirt road beneath towering baobab trees in Madagascar during a drought.

In the drought-hit southern region of Madagascar, goats do not compete with humans for food, nibbling on the barren branches left by deforestation.

He and his children tend their herds under the blazing sun and produce their unique-tasting cheese under challenging circumstances, defying the elements to secure their future.
