“Food grows from the soil, but the air around it tells another story.”
Smoke Behind the Harvest
A farmer guides his machine across the field, preparing the soil for the next season.
The machine helps make the work faster and less physically demanding, but it also leaves a trail of smoke behind.
Here, what stood out to me was how ordinary this scene felt.
The farmer continues working, surrounded by the exhaust, because the job needs to be done.
Air pollution is often discussed through factories, vehicles, and statistics, but it is also experienced in moments like these.
For people whose livelihoods depend on the land, exposure to emissions can become part of daily life.
