Killer Bean

2015/03/04 – Monte Maiz, Argentina: Soy field on the Manuelita farm in Monte Maiz. The town Monte Maiz was named by the amount of corn that once used to be produced on the region. Nowadays soy cultivation took over and it is rare to see any other crop produced. With the intense production of soy and the usage of agro-chemicals many problems arise, such like respiratory and cancer related diseases and environmental issues like contamination of soil and water reserves.
