Community Food Security 219
There were hungry years while their soil recovered fertility after heavy
chemical use, but now the villagers of Prey Veng have more food. They have
less rice to sell, but more variety of foods to eat. As Meas Nee, one of the
village elders, said, “Because we grow food in the ways of our ancestors, the
ancestors are happier, the fields are happier, and we are healthier.”
