worker, thailand

A Thai worker takes a break from building a rice drying surface in his community. The community received funds from the government to build the surface which would enable farmers to dry their own rice rather than take it to a middleman, who would take a cut of their profits. 

This is from a collaborative project I worked on in 2008 examining modern rice farming in Thailand and  the effects on the community and the land. 

Here are some other photos from the construction project:
