The mountain diet.
For generations, the people of the Hunza valley in the Karakoram mountains have gain agricultural ground over this rocky place. Thanks to hard work and ancient water channel systems, they have managed to turn rubble into fields of barley, potatoes and fruit orchards.
Subsistence agriculture and livestock raising dominate the local economy.
This is part of a global story shot for National Geographic and titled "The Evolution of Diet", on self-sufficient communities, their lifestyle and food habits.
