This is an excellent example of sustainability. Each day, the father with his oldest sons would go out to the maaro faaro (rice fields) and harvest rice, peanuts, millet, and sorghum. On the top of this roof-like contraption, they would store whatever they were not using for the day, so it could dry out naturally in the sun. The bicycle is also an example of sustainability. They do not own a car, so they use the bicycle as their main mode of transportation when they are traversing between other villages, particularly on market days.
They live off, and depend on, the land surrounding their compound. It was inspiring to see and live with such self-sufficient people who understand their land so well.
