Editor's Note:
The Chinese farmers' harvest festival, created by the state for the country’s farmers, will fall on the Autumnal Equinox this year. The Autumnal Equinox is the 16th solar term of the Chinese lunar calendar and is a season brimming with hope for the future. We have collected some photos of farmers from all over the world as we celebrate those who work hard to grow and maintain the food of the world. (Photos: VCG)
