The zafra, or sugarcane harvest season, has for centuries been one of Mexico’s most important economic activities, particularly in states such as Morelos, Puebla, Chiapas, and Jalisco, which stand out as the country’s main sugarcane-producing regions. Thousands of workers have dedicated their lives to this agricultural process, passing down from generation to generation the ancestral techniques of cultivation, harvesting, and production activities that sustain a fundamental part of rural Mexico’s economy. However, today, an invisible but relentless enemy, climate change, is disrupting the natural cycles of sugarcane, affecting both the quantity and quality of the harvests. This not only threatens production but also the livelihood of thousands of workers who depend on this industry. Producers are being forced to abandon traditional practices and implement new technologies and farming techniques to combat the effects of climate change. The use of more efficient irrigation systems, more resilient sugarcane varieties, and the mechanization of tasks are just a few examples of these new adaptation strategies. Nevertheless, these innovations bring a harsh reality: the reduction of labor demand. Tasks that workers had performed manually for years are now being replaced by machinery, and many communities whose economies depend on the zafra are witnessing the decline of agricultural jobs. For many workers, climate change not only poses an environmental challenge but also a direct threat to their livelihood. As the sugarcane industry adapts to new climatic realities, workers face the uncertainty of a future where their traditional skills may no longer be sufficient. What was once a pillar of economic stability is now in jeopardy, raising a crucial question: how will sugarcane workers adapt to a world where their jobs are on the verge of disappearing? My name is Isaí Domínguez Guerrero, and I am a conservation photographer. Between March and August 2023, I worked in the state of Morelos with the goal of documenting how the sugarcane industry in developing countries has become one of the main emitters of greenhouse gases, due to the persistence of ancestral practices like the zafra. During this project, I immersed myself in the lives of sugarcane workers and discovered how, in recent years, they live with the uncertainty that each year could be their last working in the sugarcane fields.
