125 hectares

The film focuses on the history of a group of small farmers in Le Morne-Rouge, Martinique, who have occupied 125 hectares of land since 1983. Founding member Véronique Monjean shares insights while harvesting taro corms, highlighting the collective's commitment to subsistence agriculture and biodiversity.

Through their occupation, the farmers aim to counter the threat posed by real estate development, which reduces available arable land. The film emphasizes the importance of local crops such as tubers and root vegetables, which are crucial for sustaining the island's population during potential crises or natural disasters. It offers a unique perspective on land use and agricultural sustainability in a changing environment.
