TED: What does poverty look like on a plate? | Huiyi Lin

Hui Yi Lin and Stephen Chow's project, The Poverty Line, explores poverty through the lens of food choices available to those living at the poverty line. By photographing food items purchased with the daily poverty line income in various countries, the project highlights the subjective and emotional responses it evokes globally. The project has expanded to 38 countries, sparking conversations and influencing policy discussions about poverty, emphasizing the importance of local context and community involvement in addressing systemic issues.
