057 Men burning off field

Title: 057 Men burning off field
Description: Swidden farmers first cut down the brush and trees on their field, then let the vegetation dry, and then burn it to clear the soil and convert the wood into ash, which acts as fertilizer. Here some men and children burn dried vegetation for a garden.
