  • George Rodgers, 63, a Cornish farmer of at least three generations grows giant vegetables on a quarter acre plot. The seed for his cabbages comes from his father and he provides the seed he says for 85 percent of the cabbages at the main Bath and West Show, which he is preparing for now. Giant vegetable growing is not a hobby for the faint hearted. The growers have to tend to the vegetables almost every day (including Christmas) with a commitment varying from  2-3 hours an evening to the most committed spending up to 80 hours a week, tending, nurturing, growing and spending thousands on fertilisers, electricity and green houses.  The reward is to be crowned world record holder of largest, longest or heaviest in class, cabbages weighing in at 100lb, carrots stretching 19 ft and pumpkins tipping the scales at 800lb. it’s a competitive business though and global; some times the record may stand for only hours before a fellow competitor somewhere in the world knocks a grower off the coveted spot.

  • Organic radishes for sale by members of the Women's Rural Improvement Group at Alamada market, Cotabato Province, Mindanao Island, The Philippines. In the Philippines climate change is contributing to an increase in the frequency and intensity of typhoons as well as a general rise in temperatures and rain leading to an increase in droughts, flash floods and landslides. This is having a huge impact on smallholder farmers who depend on one cash crop leaving them vulnerable to any changes in weather patterns. If their crops fail they are left with no other source of income for that year. In central Mindanao Oxfam is working with local partners and governments to increase awareness of climate change in poor communities and reduce the risks it creates to vulnerable farmers by supporting them in crop diversification.

  • Sharline Dagou, 24, was a secretary at a restaurant in Petion-Ville, she poses with her mother and brother outside her house. "I was in my bedroom with my family when the quake struck. "The first shock was smaller like a preview of the next one. The door was blocked, but we pushed and got out but my younger brother was caught. When we came out we saw our houses destroyed. Now we have nothing. I even lost my shoes and  have been barefoot for the last three weeks.  Most of the families who lost people have left, they cannot bare to stay. We pray to cope with our sadness. A Dominican missionary came to give us courage, he told us we have to accept because we love God. "I often cry, but I still smile as well. We have to, we have to hope for the future. Where there is life there is hope."
