The Idea

We documented GGEM Farming's rice operation in Nkhotakota across two phases, January and August 2024, three to four weeks on the ground in total. The two-phase structure was the point. An operation seeking investment or offtake partners has to show a full season, and a single visit only ever captures a snapshot.

Coverage ran across rice fields, processing and storage sites, inspections, and open market days. The programme produced 8,000 plus raw images, 2,000 plus edited photographs, aerial drone coverage, and more than 70 interviews with GGEM farmers and cooperative staff, shot by a single operator across both phases for visual consistency.

The result is an archive GGEM can use for reporting, partnerships, and its own record.
