Editor's note: Last month we published an article about indigenous farmers who recently gathered for a week in Peru's Cusco region to discuss climate change, its effects on their ancestral farmlands, and ways that they could work together to improve the resiliency of their agriculture.

The farmers, who came from Peru, China, and Bhutan, made plans to exchange plant varieties in an effort to protect the diversity of their crops in the face of an increasingly unpredictable climate. There were tons of great photos from the event that we were unable to include in the original article, so we've compiled a collection of them here.

The pictures below were taken by photojournalist Adam Kerby and offer more information about the gathering in Peru-as well as a peek into the lives of some of the farmers who attended.

Lawrence Schwartzwald. Lawrence Schwartzwald, $28 trade paper (78p) ISBN 978-1-941969-81-6

Photojournalist Schwartzwald celebrates urban bibliophiles in this slim collection of 60 candid black-and-white photos from recent years. Inspired by photographer André Kertész's 1971 photo essay On Reading, the collection depicts readers-mainly New Yorkers-in various stages of reflection. Except for a lucky snap of the pop singer Amy Winehouse staring down at a magazine in New York City's Meatpacking District in 2007, Schwartzwald's subjects are anonymous people publicly projecting their affinity for books. Whether at a bus stop, on a subway platform, or on a graffiti-covered stoop on the Bowery, Schwartzwald's oblivious subjects share an expression of deep thought. The most powerful images depict a reader amid and utterly oblivious to the chaotic and distinctly urban surrounding setting. As viewed through Schwartzwald's lens, the core of reading for the city dweller seems to be the ability to lose oneself to the printed word. (BookLife)

More By and About This Author

Mark ( Streetwise ) is one of the most popular and highly regarded documentary photographers working today. Her monograph contains, among others, photos of famine victims in Ethiopia, the white ruling-class of Zimbabwe after its government was ousted, and, probably her most famous series, prostitutes along Bombay's Falkland Road. In an interview that forms the book's text, she describes her working process and her commitment to the craft, especially to her subjects. ``I photograph people who are the victims of society, because I care about them,'' she says. Mark's pictures are impressive and shocking--in a word, they are art, though they also raise issues concerning exploitation of human misery. Asked whether she feels she is using her subjects, the photographer discusses the difficulty of knowing ``when you can and when you cannot take a picture.''p. 13 Mark's photographs emphasize the humanity of her subjects--``I immediately try to make a relationship with the people I'm photographing''--which renders her pictures all the more emotionally engaging to viewers. (Oct.)

This month's Photojournalism Links collection highlights 10 excellent photo essays from across the world spanning five continents, including Pete Muller's powerful work shot in the Ebola-ridden Sierra Leone. His two sets of photographs, featured below, were made on assignment for National Geographic, and are the first two in a four-part series examining the epidemic in West Africa. Muller's pictures document the battle fought by medical workers, body collectors, and burial teams to bring the crisis ravaging Freetown and the country, under control. The story and images from the city's King Tom cemetery are particularly harrowing; in just a few months, it has been expanded to three times its former size and the large number of fresh burial mounds make it look more like a construction site than a typical graveyard.
