ALTA VERAPAZ - An ear of maize from a failed corn crop, 2020
This image depicts a dried ear of corn from a failed crop in Guatemala. While seemingly small, this crop represents life changing events and decisions made by migrants every day in response to climate change. The failure of crops in many countries means the economic defeat of many families who rely on agriculture to support themselves. As weather, especially rain, becomes more unpredictable as climate change progresses, farmers can no longer rely on their crops to stay healthy. For many, this means the decision to leave their homes ad begin migration to find economic opportunities to support their families. Label by Annabelle Marcais
