Onion Cultivation in Bangladesh
March 10, 2026, Faridpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Farmers work among blooming onion fields in Faridpur, Bangladesh, where thousands of white flower heads stretch across the landscape during the seed-producing season. Due to the scarcity of bees needed for natural pollination, many farmers carefully hand-pollinate the onion flowers, transferring pollen manually to ensure seed production. The labor-intensive work is largely carried out by women who move row by row through the fields during the flowering period. (Credit Image: © Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

Africa's small-scale revolution against big agriculture: five farmers talk greener, better food
Devotees of agroecology tell the Guardian about their rejection of chemicals and fertilisers to create diverse and thriving crops
From degraded fields being brought back to fertile life to community gardens flourishing as food co-operatives, a growing revolution is happening in countries across the African continent.
Ska Moteane, Lesotho
Beans had always been a staple of the Basotho kitchen but Ska Moteane found they were steadily being replaced by meat and fast food. Her people were even forgetting their own recipes.
So she decided to document what was at risk of being lost.

Asmelash Dagne, Ethiopia
In a single year, a farm boasting little more than a pair of forlorn-looking coffee trees was transformed into a lush place of thriving and diverse crops.
An environmentalist with a science background, Dagne believes balanced environments that do not draw excessive water, pollute or need costly chemicals or energy supplies are crucial.

Stephan Katongole, Uganda
Stephan Katongole's father returned to Uganda in the early 2000s after decades abroad, he planted coffee trees on the family's hitherto abandoned farmland.
Despite having no agricultural experience, Katongole took over the land 13 years ago, when his father was too old to manage it.
Katongole slowly transformed the vast lines of coffee trees to a more diverse space, where they coexist with other plants. He says monocropping should no longer be seen as a solution.
KA profiles African farmers activists
Katongole says agricultural lands were brought out of balance and should be returned to the forests they once were.

Themba Chauke, South Africa
In Limpopo in north South Africa, everyone ate what they could grow. Now the supermarket reigns supreme.
Chauke saw many of his neighbours become indebted purely trying to feed their families on low salaries.
He had been working with community radio for his Tsonga ethnic group, but moved into creating community gardens that provide education and space for people to grow quality food.

Edie Mukiibi, Slow Food International
A drought showed Edie Mukiibi the shortcomings of industrial scale agriculture. He was part of a trial that encouraged farmers to invest in a breed of maize that they were all told would be drought resistant with the help of the fertilisers they were sold. Then drought came and they lost everything.

'It doesn't need to be one or the other': balancing brolgas and windfarms in Victoria
Victorian brolga numbers have shrunk due to habitat loss and drying wetlands. Now conservationists are calling for careful planning of windfarms.
The vast, windy plains of Neville Oddie's property in Chepstowe offer a lesson in biodiversity. One by one, the fourth-generation Pyrenees farmer lifts the rippled roofing tiles scattered across the grasslands, revealing little whip snakes and lizards. But the jewel in the crown of this privately owned farmland is a population of brolgas.
The tall waterbirds are listed as a threatened species in Victoria. According to Birdlife Australia, the 2024 flock count sat at just over 800. Numbers in northern Australia are significantly higher.
While loss of wetlands is threatening the brolgas’ habitat, researchers have recently been investigating another possible risk to the birds: the development of windfarms.
Looking across the artficial wetlands created by farmer Neville Oddie on his property, Chepstowe, to help brolgas nest. His property's three wind turbines are in the background. Victoria, Australia. 23 July 2024.

Lake or mistake? The row over water firms, drought and Abingdon's new super-reservoir
A proposal for 150bn litres of storage in Oxfordshire is mired in controversy and distrust of a privatised water industry.
BritainÕs water companies are grabbing the headlines after spilling vast amounts of raw sewage near beaches and into rivers. But the other problem bubbling away is the need for them to provide more water, especially in the east and south-east, where natural stores in underground aquifers are being sucked dry. After more than three decades of privatisation, debate is raging about the ownership of water companies, the extraction of huge sums in dividends, and how vast and vital upgrades to infrastructure are funded as the climate changes.

Lake or mistake? The row over water firms, drought and Abingdon's new super-reservoir
A proposal for 150bn litres of storage in Oxfordshire is mired in controversy and distrust of a privatised water industry.
BritainÕs water companies are grabbing the headlines after spilling vast amounts of raw sewage near beaches and into rivers. But the other problem bubbling away is the need for them to provide more water, especially in the east and south-east, where natural stores in underground aquifers are being sucked dry. After more than three decades of privatisation, debate is raging about the ownership of water companies, the extraction of huge sums in dividends, and how vast and vital upgrades to infrastructure are funded as the climate changes.
Farmer Simon Thomas could lose 1,000 hectares of land, including wetland habitats, if the project goes ahead.

Despite the wet weather, the canola fields in southern New South Wales are blooming.
Canola crops are coming into full bloom in southern New South Wales but the prolonged wet season could ruin farmers' chances to harvest their crops as some paddocks become waterlogged.
According to the Australian Bureau for Agricultural Resource Economics and Sciences (Abares), the gross value of Australian canola production is forecast to ease to its second-highest level on record at $5.2bn as prices and production fall in 2022-23.

Are indoor vertical farms really 'future-proofing agriculture'?
Heralded as the next step in food production, this practice is gaining ground in the US. But are they really a greener alternative to traditional farming?
A hyper-controlled indoor farm in industrial South San Francisco, four robots named John, Paul, George and Ringo carefully transfer seedlings from barcoded trays into 15-plus foot towers that are then hung vertically inside a 4,800 sq ft grow room.
Inside the hygienic space, which is operated by the indoor farming company Plenty, there's no soil, sunlight or tractors, but rows of hanging crops illuminated by colourful LED lights and carefully monitored by cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence. Once a tower is ready to be harvested, a balletic automated process reminiscent of a dry cleaner’s conveyor belt begins.
A robot named Garfunkel (a nearby counterpart is called Simon) gently grabs and turns the tower on its side before setting it down to be trimmed by a machine. Workers in navy branded jumpsuits inspect the greens for any defects, but there are almost none. Then the pesticide-free product is packaged and put on a truck to be delivered to a local market.
Leafy green mix seeds are planted in trays at Plenty's indoor vertical farm in South San Francisco, California on Wednesday, July 26, 2022.
