Streaming on RTÉ Player
Episode Two follows Eveline Gill as she swaps her comfort zone - a small tillage farm on the outskirts of Birr, county Offaly - for the rigours of a Vietnamese rice terrace.
For Eveline, a farming consultant who operates at the cutting edge of modern agricultural science and is an advocate for all things organic, this is an awakening in a mountainous backwater where farming techniques have been unchanged for centuries.
Her destination is Nam Tang, a tribal village perched precariously in the northern highlands, and inhabited by the La Chi minority.
The sweeping plains of the Irish midlands, where Eveline plants and grows oats, offer little preparation for this way of life: in a village clinging to the side of a mountain, landslides are a daily hazard.
Eveline discovers that soaring temperatures across Southeast Asia are making an already hostile environment even more difficult to work in.
