RE: Combating Farmer Suicide With Art

in #art8 years ago

Me too @jefferyjaxen. I saw a documentary recently about the farmer suicides in India. The rate of suicide was staggering and so very sad. The documentary I saw looked at the problems created when farmers are no longer able to save seeds the traditional way and are forced down the path of genetically modified crops.

Sort:  

Saving seeds has been a pillar of that keeps farming alive and thriving. The fact that the act has been prohibited/outlawed speaks to the overt authoritarian control over food producers and independent farmers. The answer? The time-honored act of Civil Disobedience. It has already happened in California. http://seedfreedom.info/civil-disobedience-against-ab2470-the-california-seed-law/
