  • Wearing a traditional Andean felt hat, Ermelinda Ayme spends part of her morning in the windowless cooking hut, cleaning barley in the light from the doorway. After she blows away the dust and chaff, the grain is ready to be ground for breakfast porridge. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 114). (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE).

  • Standing beneath hanging sheep carcasses, five sheep wait patiently; soon it will be their turn at the slaughterhouse, which is attached to the Zumbagua market in Ecuador. At the live-animal market a quarter mile away, shoppers can pick out the animals they want, then have them killed, skinned, and cleaned. The entire process, including the time it takes to walk the sheep from the market to the slaughterhouse, takes less than an hour. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 113).
