Rice is one of the most time intensive crops to harvest, and throughout much of Asia many farmers still do this process by hand. These subsistence farmers spend hours upon hours using sickles to harvest their crops but earn just enough to barely scrape by. These men and women are the backbone of Asia where 90% of the world’s rice is produced and makes up for the majority of calories in people’s diet.
