FOOD SAFETY AND FOOD SECURITY FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS :
We need to get together, and get united as a global community, an universal family described in Indian Tradition as “VASUDHAIKA KUTUMBUM”, to stop Genetically Modified Food Crops, and the introduction of Genetically Modified Organisms into our Living Environment. Let us join hands to work together and speak with one voice to stop the greed driven Agribusiness to use Biotechnology to enhance its profitability while disregarding Food Safety and Food Security of our Future Generations. I am sharing some of the images of protest events in different parts of the world. We need to win this Battle against GMOs in every single Nation of our planet Earth, the Home to all of us.
Kindly join me to support Greenpeace India and call or write to Ms. Sonia Gandhi to oppose the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India ( BRAI ) Bill which has been recently approved by the Cabinet of Indian Union Government.

Food is a vital requirement. No one should experiment new food unless it is esablished that there is no option to live without taking unknown food. If for some reason such food is taken by accident and an individual falls sick then there is hope of rescuing that individual. That is the sane way of sustaining life. It is insane to feed a billion people with unknown food unless one is utterly careless about future health. We believe we are sane people, but one doubts if that assumption is true in the context of introducing unproven food to sustain life.

Thanks for sharing your view. Indians have been growing food crops for thousands of years and we need to show respect to Indian farmers and their expertise. Farmers have carefully chosen desirable traits and propagated those seeds and have increased food production without damaging Soil Health. These farmers need our financial support. Our Farm workers are entitled to living wages and we need to help them to sell agricultural products at a Fair Price. We need to improve infrastructure to help marketing of perishable products and save food from pests and infestation during storage and distribution. The dependence upon synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other chemicals have caused huge damge to our environment and ecological systems apart from impacting the health of agricultural workers and food consumers.
