Stories

Hot pepper, field to table

Few crops say Trinidad and Tobago as loudly as the hot pepper. This story follows it from young plants under sprinklers to a pot of curry crab, and marks plainly where the camera was not there.

Tomato, harvest and handling

A tomato is judged by colour, but it is picked, carried and packed long before it turns red. Two days in tomato fields in 2013 show the part of the chain where care matters most.
