Abstract
Using “photo voice” an action research methodology, local people used photography to explore and share the meaning of climate change in their lives in practical, real ways. This report integrates photos and commentary directly drawn from the project to document results. Agrarian communities have co-evolved with their climate since time immemorial. Their culture, self-identity, land use practices, and economies are intimately tied to predictable weather patterns that support subsistence agriculture. The project helps understand what happens when these patterns are disrupted.
