Yunnan is the homeland of rice to the Chinese nation and known as the source of rice culture to the whole world. The shoot includes images of the Hani New Year rice festival in Southern China. For the Hani people rice is more than just food, it is the very basis of their culture, however, it's a way of life that could be under threat as the spectre of genetic engineering (GE) creeps up on the planet's most important food crop.Related Collections:Rice Farming Documentation in China (All Photographers)
