July 2017. Rice fields planted below a hillside field of sayote. Sayote, locally known as "Green Gold", is an increasingly popular cash crop that is replacing more traditional and less lucrative crops such as camote (a sweet potatoe). Sayote is planted on cleared hillsides under low wire trellises. Not only does the method require clearing forest, but it also can lead to devastating landslides during times of heavy rain or earthquakes, both of which are common in the region.
