Mulanje, Malawi – Lawrence Abison walks along the bank of the Likhubula River, stopping every few metres to inspect the grass. He eventually moves towards a patch of green Napier grass and reeds. The 25-year-old takes out a sickle. With three friends, he starts cutting. They work through the morning, tying the grass into bundles, carrying them uphill and returning to the river for more. After two hours of cutting, they had gathered enough grass to feed 10 cattle for one day.

They had come from different directions, searching for fodder for cattle kept on farms across the district.
