Rice Terrace Landscape, Vietnam.Nightfall temporarily interrupts the preparation of rice terraces in Mù Cang Chải, Yên Bái Province, Vietnam. The Hmong farmers of this district have built the steep hillsides into terraces that are often only a meter wide, but together add up to more than 22 square kilometers of irrigated rice paddies.

A miniature forest of cassava carpets a hill in Sơn La Province, Vietnam, broken only by a small patch of tea. In Southeast Asia, cassava is grown by 8 million farmers for local consumption and, increasingly, export. 7.8 million metric tons of dried cassava circulate on the global market every year, and 7.7 million of these are grown in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is the second major exporter after nearby Thailand.A miniature forest of cassava carpets a hill in Sơn La Province, Vietnam, broken only by a small patch of tea.

A farmer of the Thái ethnic group carries tree seedlings to be planted between fields of cassava in Sơn La Province. The many minority groups of this remote and mountainous region practice diverse farming systems that often include cassava as a key part. The popular varieties, bred for the region, grow relatively low and dense as they efficiently use sunlight to produce their starchy edible roots under the soil.A farmer of the Thái ethnic group carries tree seedlings to be planted between fields of cassava in Sơn La Province.

A farmer tends to rice paddies at the Maname experimental farm in Tolima, where different varieties of exotic rice destined for Colombian restaurants are tested under local conditions. Over 90% of rice fields in the country are planted with modern varieties, usually bred with a very mixed ancestry from other regions of the world. Resistance to the destructive Latin American virus hoja blanca, for example, has been found in a variety from Taiwan and a few African lines.A farmer tends to rice paddies at the Maname experimental farm in Tolima, where different varieties of exotic rice destined for Colombian restaurants are tested under local conditions.
