Although cotton only occupies five percent of cultivated land in India, it accounts for more than half of the total pesticides used in farming there. The cost to the country has not just been environmental.

  • Read more about Chetna Organic on our website.

  • @kr45576 You're making (incorrect) generalization. Big organic movement, over 10 years, in US. I have started Garden of Lia, to help families plant backyard gardens. There is "Millions against Monsanto" in the US. A few large corporations is not the "mind" of Americans! We are fighting this all the time, and trying to help farmers around the world! We still donate more food than other countries! We can end death by starvation on this planet right now! We have enough food! Disruption from war!

  • I liked your video very much.

  • Good for India - Organic farming which is our tradition.

    We never should accept blindly anything that comes from the Western countries including United States. These countries have no culture and traditions, Their only motive is to make more money by destroying natural things and controlling world through henious means.

  • Great news! Best of wishes for them. This is what people need to be doing.
