Miki Komaki, an organic tea producer in Japan's storyPosted in: Portraits
Like him, I was trained as a producer but I continue to attend trainings because we have to adapt to natural changes every year. When I am not in our shop, I meet other women tea producers and we talk a lot about our profession... My work is very important to me, it makes me grow and living among the tea trees brings me a great deal of serenity.

Lors de mon voyage en avril 2019, j’ai eu l’occasion de rencontrer les équipes du projet Fair For Life (FFL). Malgré des efforts du gouvernement post-apartheid pour réduire la pauvreté en investissant lourdement dans des programmes sociaux et d’infrastructures, la situation reste très difficile pour les communautés africaines (un taux de chômage très élevé, une grande partie de la population n’a pas accès au logement, à l’éducation et la santé, 48 % vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté).

The magic of roses in Provence … shoot!Posted in: News

As we get out of the car, we are swept away by the heady scent of May roses.
