Here a summary of the Rice is Life project by Greenpeace China.


A nice example of how to empower people – in this case by simply giving a camera to local farmers and explaning them how to use it… The photos are still being exhibited – even 5 years after the project was carried out. The resulting images (some of them of astonishing quality) naturally show the benefits & purity of traditional farming in Southern China – an area that is more and more becoming industrialized.


I had the chance to meet John Rose and to work with the team of Greenpeace China that did this project. An amazing group of dedicated people that has a lot of work to do in raising awareness for so many environmental (& social) issues in China.
