<br />
Farming projects here are supported by World Renew through their partner Diaconia. Fernando explains that they are planting beans to be sold as seeds, plus cabbages. Recently he explains "this area has sufferred from climate change, severe droughts, and the only way we can get a crop to harvest is to use irrigation." <br />
<br />
They have received support including the seeds, irrigation pipes and technical advice.<br />
<br />
"Most houses here have people who have left as migrants to the US. The main problems are unemployment and very low wages, some people pay $4 a day, but the cost of living is higher than that. Agriculture is failing and without any support it is hard to plant anything. Since the big droughts we have lost a lot of faith in farming".

  • An old turntable in the railroad yard in Eugene, Oregon. <br />
<br />
Built decades ago by the Southern Pacific Railroad, it now sits abandoned on Union Pacific land. Turntables were once a common feature in many rail yards because steam locomotives couldn't back up well. They needed help getting pointed in the right direction after leaving the roundhouses where repairs were made. Almost all the turntables in the country were dug up and discarded when newer diesel electric locomotives came into use in the 1940s, replacing virtually all steam locomotives by the mid-1950s.

  • A bridge over the Rio Iztoca in southern Honduras. Though it is the rainy season, the river bed is dry. The river has dried up in recent years, along with many other rivers in the region, this is thought to be partly from stripping of vegetation and forest cover in the watersheds that feed the rivers in the south, and also due to the influence of climate change. The IPCC predicted a likelihood of reduced rainfall in the region. Agriculture has already been failing in the area for eight years because of drought conditions.
