ŠJess Hurd's 'Rebel Flower' exhibition at the Foundry...This white flower is pyrethrum, an herbal insecticide, which provides a highly effective protection against mosquitoes, carriers of killer diseases such as Malaria and Yellow Fever...Kenya produces over 70% of the world's pyrethrum, which directly benefits over 200,000 subsistence and low-income farmers and indirectly supports about 2million people...However, global trade policies have ruined the market of this once thriving crop.
