Corn farmer Faustino of Las Flores experiments with new methods of growing corn in ways that decrease deforestation of the rain forest.  By planting his corn closer together, he is able to get the same yield of corn on 1/11th the land previously used.  His farm helps others in the community to see that they don't need to clear as much land as they previously did for crops, helping to conserve the rain forest in their area.  (El Salvador)
