Farmers from Pantik Village prepare seedlings to be planted in a shallow peatland at Pulang Pisau Regency in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. They try to use microbial decomposer instead of burning techniques to prepare their fields. Microbial decomposer could be the answer for farmers, especially in shallow peatlands. It keeps their productivity high and supports food security without having to worry about triggering a fire on the peatland.
