The Solution, by Riccardo Cigno (Commended)

“The solution” was taken in June 2011 in a field near Luco Dei Marsi, a small town in central Italy (L’Aquila Province-Abruzzo). It represents a farmer during the preparations for the herbicide treatment of potatoes. I wanted to focus the attention on this issue because the health and safety aspect and the respect for nature of local farmers is often overlooked with disastrous consequences for the environment around us - mainly due to not using the safety equipment and the illegal dumping of chemical compounds.
