EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Franck Prevel, we witness an employee of a poultry farm in Volnay, western France carefully examining chicken eggs. The image portrays the dedication and vigilance required to ensure the quality and safety of these delicate products. Taken on February 23,2006, during a period when France was grappling with multiple cases of bird flu outbreak, this snapshot sheds light on the devastating impact it had on the poultry industry. As further instances of avian influenza were being discovered across the country, panic ensued among consumers and resulted in plummeting poultry prices. Consequently, numerous farmers were left with no choice but to destroy their stocks to prevent further spread of the disease. The photograph encapsulates both hope and despair as it captures an employee's unwavering commitment towards safeguarding public health while simultaneously highlighting the distress faced by farmers who witnessed their livelihoods crumble before them. Franck Prevel's expert lensmanship beautifully captures not only the intricate details of each egg but also conveys a deeper narrative about human resilience amidst adversity. This thought-provoking image serves as a stark reminder that even in times of crisis, individuals continue to work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to protect our food supply chain and maintain public well-being.
