Sharing with you a video that I came across.
It is a sad story about the long term harms of what started as the Green Revolution in Punjab- the Bread Basket of India... the sorry consequences of GM seeds Chemical fertilisers & Pesticides and depletion of ground water. A development, a futuristic scientific initiative that seems to have gone horribly wrong, just because we failed to harness it wisely, because we did not know where and when to stop... The worst part is that the hard working farmers , those who feed the nation, are at the receiving end. Government apathy has escalated the problem. Thousands of farmers have ended their lives in despair and debt. Many have given in to drug abuse. It is time the Indian government takes drastic measures to improve the situation by evaluating the current agarian practices and suggesting suitable modifications. Further, there should be measures to provide financial assistance and education to farmers. Please click on the link below to see the video.

Mentor Han, the government is extending support to farmers and helping them revive their production. We hope the crisis will resolve soon.

Mentor Daon, the government is extending help to farmers but it is taking time and the effects are spread deep, so it will be a long process to grant sustainability to the agriculture in Punjab.

Yes Razanamanana, it is sad indeed. Biological agriculture respects natural processes and can be sustained well by all. It can be an effective solution of course.

Aaditya, thank you for your report. It is a sad news that the Green Revolution went bad in India. So what plans does the Indian government have at the moment? If not, I am sure the government will show you some moves very soon.

Hi Aaditya, thanks for sharing your report.
I'm deeply sorry about what's happening in India. I believe farmer and agriculture is crucial part of one society and hope things would get better.

Really, it's so sad. But to rectify this situation, the implementation of the biological agriculture is among the adopted solution.
