Organic Rice Art at Ratchaburi in Thailand

Hundreds of Greenpeace supporters, volunteers and farmers have planted organic rice in a bid to create the first ever art on a rice field in Thailand. The 10-rai rice field in Ratchaburi province in 4 months grows into a beautiful art 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.
