THEMATIC REPORT: Slow poisoning of India |

“ The chemical war is never won and all life caught in its violet crossfire” said by Rachel Carson. Our major weakness may be food, but had we ever realized even for a second sitting ahead of the table during lunch and dinner that how much our body is getting a well required amount of the required nutrients from the food we are consuming, and does the food that enter to our stomach really contains good amount of the nutrients?? I found somewhere there that we ingest pesticides more than 40 times what an American could consume. Before starting, I would like to offer my sincere thankful ness to Our Mentors for coming up with such a great theme for the month, Due to my hectic examination schedule I couldn’t show my active participation at Tunza, As soon as I got a mail, I was so much excited that this is really one of the things that I had been searching for a long time, Thanks to mentor that they made my task so easy. Jumping into the topic, one of the documentary that hit me is “Slow Poisoning of India”, India being the neighbor country of mine and one of the biggest importer to my country, this video caught my sight which is really so meaningful from both environment and health perspective. “The slow poisoning of India” is a 26 minute documentary film directed by Ramesh Menon and produced by the New Delhi- based , The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). It has clearly dealt with the possible danger of pesticides on both the human health and the environment. Being an Agriculture student, i have ever given my keen eyes and focus for the pesticide impact, I had also ever encouraged farmers of my reach to emphasize on the organic farming so as to reduce the carbon foot print on the ecosystem. Slow poisoning of India is threatening our life, farmers are using pesticides for the sake of the money, for the gain that is damaging other’s life and environment, One of the time bomb for the modern era is that eating such food full of pesticide residues, the banned pesticide are still used in the crop which has deteriorated human life so dreadfully, the pesticides impact are blooming, those land and water bodies are contaminated so rapidly after the green revolution, health is another casualties, bugs, insects and superbugs are becoming resistant day by day, water bodies are changing into the chemical bodies. This is really so havoc to see such a dreadful situation. I couldn't copy the link here, so for detail please go through the topic" The Slow Poisoning Of India".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WvoB2gRJbE |

Hello Sandhya
Pesticides have been developed to get rid of the insects that are harmful in the process of farming, but the problem is that it is harming the human health as well. I think the biggest problem with using pesticides is that the insects are getting more and more resistant to pesticides. I'm not saying that the human society should stop using pesticides, but at least it should find some balance to how much pesticides should be used.
Thank you for the great report.

Lisa Mentor,
Thank you so much for your feed back,
Really long term effect of chemical pesticides cant be ignored,
We must have to work effectively for it and make people aware about the effect,

Hey Sandhya!
It's Lisa.
I cannot agree more to the expression 'slow poisoning'.
Although the threats posed by pesticides might not be visible or direct in short-run they are slowly destroying us and the environment!
This is probably why I think we should be careful with them more because we never know when the poison will be accumulated enough to seriously damage us.
It's great how you acknowledge all of us of the danger of the chemical pesticides.
Thank you for letting us know:)

Greetings Sandhya sis
I hope you are doing well !
Today, people are running after money commiting several actions without considering the threat that future will bring. It's certain that this action for money would get reversed and people would run after healthier living after few decades which would be impossible to achieve how much rich a human become.
Thank you so much for this wonderful report.
Green cheers

Hello Sandhya,

You have wrote on the very sensitive topic.We concern on food but never think how healthy we are eating.We may be eating poison in the form of food and it is very obvious in the country like Nepal and India.
Thank you for sharing the information regarding slow poisoning.
Indeed a great report.
Keep writing.
Green Cheers,
Shreya
