The Wild-Boar story
SOMETIMES, A LITTLE EMPATHY TOWARDS NATURE GOES A LONG WAY...
Wild boar attacks are perhaps one of the most common challenges we face as farmers in the region.
And while people often resort to drastic measures to keep them away, one of the farmers who works on our farm came up with a much simpler solution... a bucket of water.
Because, at the heart of the problem, the boars were coming into our fields looking for water. So, instead of simply trying to keep them out, we gave them a source of water away from the crops. And, quite simply, it worked. Their trespassing into the farm reduced significantly. Sometimes, understanding what brings us into conflict with nature can be the first step towards living alongside it. A little empathy can go a surprisingly long way.
