...Their fruit makes for a handy snack. Lotus ponds punctuate factory floors. ?If the fish die,? says Hardy, ?we know something is wrong.? The compound is designed to be light on the ground. If the Hardys closed shop, the whole area could be back to rice paddies in three months' time. The breathtaking showroom is a cathedral of curving bamboo, designed by renowned Malaysian architect Cheong Yew Kuan. It's easy to chuckle when Hardy speaks of building replicas on the roofs of malls in the U.S., turning those wasted acres into gardens and bringing luxury...

In December, he plans to join 2,000 other Korean farmers in a mass protest against trade liberalization at the WTO ministerial meetings in Hong Kong. The farmers plan to beat traditional two-sided Korean drums and chant slogans against free trade. But even Yuk wonders if the cause is futile. In March, the South Korean government cut the subsidized price it pays farmers for their rice as part of an effort to prepare them for increased competition when the market opens. That sliced Yuk's revenue by about...
