  • It's not Mother Nature. It's the big evil agro/pharma/chmical industry. Ban them and the farmers will live...This is systematic mass murder and has happened in EXACT same way in US, and happening in other countries right now...sadly the reaction is also similar..give up on life..

    Please spread the word about Navadanya movement led by Vandana Shiva and help it grow....

  • Stop using GM seed then, and go back to using local seeds that cost far less.

    I understand the Indian Government has been paid off by the big GM seed companies like Monsanto. Only when you ban these corporate criminals, can you start to help these unfortunate farmers.
