This print by Crispin Hughes titled "20035135 (TANZANIA Shinyanga Gertrude winnowing rice waste she collects from mill. Whole grains that slip through are sold and the broken grains eaten. See Oxfam case study)" transports us to the heart of rural Africa, where hard work and agriculture intertwine to sustain communities. The image showcases a remarkable woman named Gertrude, hailing from Shinyanga in Tanzania, as she diligently winnows rice waste collected from a local mill. Gertrude's resilience shines through as she meticulously separates whole grains from the discarded chaff. Every grain counts in her world, for those that slip through her fingers will be sold while the broken ones become sustenance for herself and her family. This powerful visual encapsulates the resourcefulness and determination found within African agricultural practices. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by individuals like Gertrude who rely on their laborious efforts to make ends meet. It also sheds light on organizations such as Oxfam, whose case studies highlight stories like Gertrude's and advocate for sustainable development in impoverished regions. Crispin Hughes' lens captures not only an ordinary moment but also an extraordinary narrative of strength amidst adversity. Through this image, we are invited to contemplate the vital role played by hardworking people like Gertrude in shaping our global food systems – reminding us of their invaluable contributions often overlooked or taken
