AFGHANISTAN Years of drought and a lack of access to seeds, fertilizers, and equipment leave even arable land unused. No refrigeration / poor sanitation, and lack of enforcement of ‘western basic’ health standards.
AFGHANISTAN Urban food markets function relatively well; affordable, available, and accessible.  But there are serious short-comings in water quality and nutritional intake
AFGHANISTAN The long-term prospects for food security and sustainability are dubious in light of waste management and urban encroachment on Kabul’s limited arable land.
AFGHANISTAN BUT THE PEOPLE KEEP PRESSING ON…
CAMBODIA Cambodia is currently experience relatively strong economic growth and a booming tourism sector, but the rural populations continue to live in abject poverty Restoring the Ancient Past… But at what cost…
INDIA The boss of the house Again, an example of the rich-poor divide, and this in a rural village… While India is hailed as a democracy, the caste system and exploitation of migrant workers threaten society from within.
