- Summary:
- When film technician Jock Brandis discovered cotton being grown in traditionally food bearing fields in southern Mali, he observed to villagers that growing cotton would rob their soil of nitrogen and suggested that they plant peanuts either around the cotton plants or in rotation with cotton. Learning that a mechanical peanut sheller was needed, Brandis set about designing one that local people could build on the spot and fix themselves.
