Boot soles after two years of daily use at a farm.

Great example of everyday noragi (work clothes, worn by farmers for ex.)​ from Taisho period. Note the makisode sleeve shape, offering freedom of mouvement!

You can see the close-up of the weave, made from asa (bast-fiber like hemp or linen) and kamiyori (twisted paper thread​). Despite its "rugged" materials, weave is delicately interlocked with regular black stripes.

The coat also presents geometrical sashiko (white quilting), both reinforcing easily worn areas (collar, hems, inner center back), and decorating the garment.

PSA for writers: please please please don't put characters doing manual labour in "silk" kimono. I'll be forever grateful ;)

Oh, this will end badly.

So many middle class farmers are screwed under Trump?

Фермеры собирают кувшинки в болотистой местности Шапла, недалеко от Барисала, Бангладеш.

Кувшинка -национальный цветок Бангладеша. Они цветут только с августа по ноябрь. Розовые кувшинки покрывают канал и водно-болотные угодья площадью 10 000 акров в деревне, которая расположена в 40 милях от города Барисал. Это место в народе называют Шапларбил (канал кувшинок). Вся деревня занимается выращиванием цветка. Рабочие начинают очень рано утром в 6 утра и работают весь день. Каждый цветок тщательно собирается вручную и перевозится в маленькой деревянной лодке фермеров. Выращивание и сбор кувшинок— это общее дело, и фермеры продают цветы на местных рынках. Их покупают не только за их внешний вид, они также ценятся в традиционной аюрведической терапии за их лечебные свойства.

Farmers pick water lilies in the Shapla wetlands near Barisal, Bangladesh.

The water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh. They bloom only from August to November. Pink water lilies cover a canal and a 10,000-acre wetland in a village located 40 miles from the city of Barisal. The place is popularly called Shaplarbil (water lily canal). The entire village is involved in cultivating the flower. Workers start very early in the morning at 6am and work all day. Each flower is carefully picked by hand and transported in the farmers' small wooden boat. Growing and harvesting the water lilies is a communal endeavor, and the farmers sell the flowers in local markets. They are not only bought for their appearance, they are also prized in traditional Ayurvedic therapy for their medicinal properties.

The production of low carbon, plant-based insulating blocks by agricultural workers from farm materials could help to support rural economies and tackle labour shortages, experts believe.

A major new study will test if the materials, for use in local construction, could lead to a “Harvest to House” system of building.

The University of Exeter-led study will show if small-scale farmers could diversify into making sustainable building materials for use on their own farms, or for construction in the local area. This could also benefit their own businesses, communities and the environment.

Arable farm workers in the region will be involved in the small-scale trial of a manufacturing process. Researchers will explore the human, environmental, and infrastructural barriers and opportunities for production through working with farmers and farm workers.

A short animated, visual ‘manual’ of the pilot manufacturing system, in an accessible and easy to digest format that can be readily shared and referred to by time-pressed farmers and workers, as well as people outside agriculture.

The project is part of the Ecological Citizen(s) Network+, led by The Royal College of Art, the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) at the University of York and Wrexham Glyndŵr University, as well as a range of partners from industry, charities, culture and civil society.

//Ed's note: What they're doing is designing a social-economic-environmental intervention that attempts to address a number of complex problems simultaneously. Its a business model innovation also to see if small farms can also make sustainable building materials in their offtime as an additional source of income. Note how in all my African and Asian stories, social enterprises usually include farmers in their business models but this is a first in the UK and Europe I'm guessing to think about these things in a holistic socially oriented community-centric manner.

This farmer couple used silicon to create molds in the shape of their own feet. They then planted turnips using these molds. As the turnips grew, they filled the molds and took on the shape of their feet.

Disney World grows vegetables like this in molds, too.

Oh yes please

They make these things with so little material, hardly enough to keep a mouse unded controll let alone a pussy 🐱

People realize USAID was never strictly about altruism, right?

It was more diplomacy than anything.

The US was getting certainly things in return.

You know, like, keeping middle class farmers in America happy.
