Giang Pham is a photojournalist based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. More of his work can be viewed at his personal website.

This photobook is a humble collection of personal stories from the farmers who practice ecological farming in Ha Tinh and Quang Binh, the two provinces in Central Vietnam. Applying the principle of interdependence with the “Forest — Milpa — Rice Field” system, these farmers are maintaining and developing a sustainable ecological farming method which is vulnerable to the monoculture agriculture and the abuse of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in the slope ecosystem in Vietnam. This farming method also has a positive impact on climate change.

All stories in this book were documented from the protagonists’ narrative and from the author’s observations during the field trip to their farms. Through every story filled in these pages, we hope to bring you a multi-faceted perspective of ecological farming as well as practical lessons for your agricultural journey.
