  • Villagers inspect the carcass of a cow they slaughtered after it swallowed more than 10 kilograms of plastic bags and became critically bloated in a village near Narouk, Kenya.  This discovery came at the cost of two cattle in a culture that values livestock highly. In the dry, near desert conditions of drought stricken Kenya, discarded plastic bags are eaten by cows while grazing. Here the dead calf is removed from the birth sack. Maasai wealth is derived from the cattle owned, the land, and the number of children born to support the family busines, which is cattle and goats.

  • Several birds landed in an oil lake and slowly drowned in the Rumaila Oil Field of Southern Iraq. An extinguished well gushed for several hours before being capped, creating a lake of oil. Unwitting birds mistake the glistening liquid for water, a deadly mistake. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest oil fields with five billion barrels in reserve. Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah..

  • (1992) Professor Alec Jeffreys (b. 1950), English molecular biologist and discoverer of DNA fingerprinting. In the background is an image of an autoradiogram, the visualization technique used to compare DNA samples. A DNA fingerprint is a unique genetic sequence, which identifies any individual, human or animal, from a tiny sample of tissue such as blood, hair, or sperm. Its many uses include the identification and conviction of criminals, and the proving of family relationships, such as the paternity of a child. Only monozygotic 'identical' twins share the same DNA. DNA consists of two sugar- phosphate backbones, arranged in a double helix, linked by nucleotide bases. There are 4 types of base; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Sequences of these bases make up genes, which encode an organism's genetic information. The bands (black) on the autoradiogram show the sequence of bases in a sample of DNA. Jeffreys is a professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester, England. MODEL RELEASED

  • Lan Guihua, a widowed farmer, prepares a chicken for her guests and neighbors at her home in Ganjiagou Village, Sichuan Province, China.  (She is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a typical day in June was 1900 kcals. She is 68 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall; and 121 pounds. Her farmhouse is tucked into a bamboo-forested hillside beneath her husband's grave, and the courtyard opens onto a view of citrus groves and vegetable fields. Chickens and dogs roam freely in the packed-earth courtyard, and firewood and brush for her kitchen wok are stacked under the eaves. Although homegrown vegetables and rice are her staples, chicken feathers and a bowl that held scalding water for easier feather plucking are clues to the meat course of a special meal for visitors. In this region, each rural family is its own little food factory and benefits from thousands of years of agricultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

  • Chicken and ducks for sale in Chinese open markets are shown live then either killed immediately or brought home live. The Chinese insistence on fresh food treats with suspicion anything that is already dead. This is changing somewhat in urban centers as Western style supermarkets become more ubiquitous in the country. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats) Although meat in the United States and Europe mainly comes from factory farms and is sold in shrink-wrapped packages, most animal products elsewhere (as these photographs demonstrate) come from small-scale producers and are sold by butchers.
