Story behind the artwork:
I grew up in a family of farmers,
Our country depends highly on importation, we cry for the support for the local farmers, our farmers losses more each year because of the new system in agriculture . The Rice Farming is the dying now in our country. The farmers were push to sell out their lands to convert into subdivisions. The younger generation like us needs to be educated about the real situation. We urge the government to help out LGU’s promote and adapt organic and integration of our farms.
