An inventive and adventurous spirit courses through each one of Zim&Zou’s elaborate paper installations, the latest of which imagines a mighty horse leading a ship suspended from above.
Titled “Flying Faubourg,” the project was designed to fit the Hermès window in Tokyo’s Ginza Mitsukoshi. The artists (previously) melded the brand’s origins in equestrian goods with the Haussmannian architecture of the iconic storefront at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, constructing tall windows and ornate iron balconies reminiscent of the Parisian streets.

Photo Caption
This photo was taken at Embrapa Agrosilvopastoral, in Sinop, MT, Brazil, in May 2024. It shows beef cattle in an experiment of integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems. This research evaluates the carbon balance of the production system, animal performance and helps to promote a more sustainable production system, with lower net emissions of greenhouse gases. It is a form of sustainable intensification of agricultural production.

This is the biggest experimental field of an integrated crop-livestock-forestry system in the world. Located in Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil, within the Amazon biome, it contributes to developing low-carbon production. In the picture, the cattle are enjoying the shade of the trees, reducing the warm sensation during a hot afternoon. Trees capture CO2, compensating for animals’ methane emissions.

What is the connection between the activity or project depicted in the photo and climate change?
Integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems make it possible to produce meat with low carbon emissions, or with net negative emissions. Well-managed trees and pasture offset methane emissions from animals, reducing the carbon footprint of meat. In addition, the trees offer thermal comfort to the animals, making the system more resilient to rising temperatures.
Is this image connected to a USAID project?
