Occasionally when I go home...I help my father in sowing seeds, putting fertilizers, watering the farm, during harvesting. So I gained pretty much knowledge in farming.
But agriculture is not very profitable in India. Government don't provide competitive prices for the crops and farmers sometimes commits suicides😥😥. Government don't provide any subsidiaries or even even godowns for safeguarding their crop during times of sudden whether changes.Farmers cannot complain and no one is answerable. They can only let their blood and sweet go in vain.
In America, they offer subsidies for only the cheap grains and soybeans - so our food supply is all corn, wheat, and soy in everything, and healthy food is expensive. This is why poor people are often overweight but malnourished here, because the cheap food is mostly those things! 😥
And then of course there is Monsanto, suing people for "stealing" their patented seeds when the pollen blows into the field of a farmer who wasn't using Monsanto seeds at all. Farmers lose everything not from a drought but because Monsanto sued them for somehow not controlling the wind.
And now Monsanto and Bayer have been allowed to join and control the worlds food supply. We all must start saving non GMO seeds and growing as much as we can. It was a sad week for freedom.
