Organic Rice Art Ratchaburi

Hundreds of Greenpeace supporters, volunteers and farmers planted organic rice today in a bid to create the first ever art on a rice field in Thailand. The 10-rai rice field in Ratchaburi province will grow into a beautiful art in the next 4 months to show an image of farmers wearing straw hats and using sickles to harvest rice. The rice art, which celebrates Thailand's rich rice heritage, is meant to remind governments to protect the regions most important food crop from the threats of genetic engineering. Includes background footage of rice and noodle milling and making process.
