Till now the governments and the corporate world has worked together to convince the farmers and others that cash crops are the best way to become rich in short time. They did not inform the farmers that these short term gains are simply going to destroy their land, food security, economy and sovereignty. <br />There should be a mass struggle to compel the governments, both National and State, that corporatisation of agriculture be stopped with immediate effect. Approval for filed testing of Genetically modified seeds being done by Indian Universities and agricultural institutions be scrapped, approvals for marketing GM products be denied, and finally agriculture should be treated as the backbone of food security and food sovereignty of communities and the country.Muktigamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285296527438005498noreply@blogger.com
