Very nice topic thanks sir

[@sukritikapur6980]

Interesting topic... Enlightening interview.

[@hatimmalampattiwala5326]

Thank you m'am as always in the strive to make aware of the harmful and toxic food security measures present prevalently around the society these days. I request the team at Wire to bring forth more info in relation these subjects into the mass, as m'am has clearly indicated . I have one question: If you can please, I am from Surat, How can we the young minds, begin to grow our own food (indigenous/heirloom/open pollinated)right at home whether rural or urban, because to begin even just making our own compost, because the food that we get from the market were grown in pesticide ridden land, Therefore for the urban individual is there a way for an to source from community of farmers that follow natural farming principles and then maybe begin to grow his/her own food ?

[@Agyat-c8d]

Knowledgeable

[@TheArcosmos]

Problem is half of the very bright minds are focussing energies on establishing a Shastra ^& varna System Hindu Rashtra ...but are opposing the ruling govt but these people do not discuss about GMO & agriculture ecology 😊

[@pujaravikumar3085]

Madam should also provide some data about the yields with non hybrid seeds with organic methods.

[@drjagritisingh6569]

We already have sikkim a organic farming state.

[@govindagarwal4089]

Say no to GM crops.

[@Dd_12348]

First control population of india Then think about organic farming Iam respect you mam and reporter But first of all every news channel talk about population control Follow antinatlism and minimalism and stay chidfree

[@anjanadas2105]

Hey Lady, talk about population. Why india adds 15 million 1.5 chores stomach every year. From where the food will come. That is why chemical fertilizer, pesticides are needed

[@sara-pr5hs]

One thing her products are way too expensive. Ok I just want to ask because I am confused, is Cottonseed oil in India GM. If yes then when all Confectioneries and Halidirams are using it and by cunningly targeting palm oil. Because from what I know Palm oil is more expensive than Cotton seed. As per existing govt laws GM food is not allowed in India but these business are pushing from backdoor. Also did she voice against govt decision to introduce GM nustard. I dont know her andolan is not making much difference but has only created categories and helped businesses only capitalise from existing confusion by creating another product line and selling them at premium, just like ghee and all. These people only instill fear but do not work towards solution whicu negotiation and talking to exiting govt. Today yii have Savory items made in cotton seed oil sold at normal rates( they do not even mention the oil just a group pf oils) and then groudnut which isnused as marketing strategy to sell their product at a higher cost.

She is what you called "living in a imaginary world". Does she know how many people die every year of hunger? Every day of hunger ? It's all for her easy to say live without pesticide, live without fertilizer, it can be stopped overnight, but the world will plunge into hunger. First she should provide alternatives, organic farming is fine but productivity is not enough to feed 8 billion people. This is not 1800s.

[@drjagritisingh6569]

Dude you don't have to go overnight like sri lanka. Our sikkim state is already fully organic ,we already have data .and we can promote canning of fresh produce as you can see a lot of produce gets waste and rotten due to lack of storage for farming produces.canning keeps produce fresh without preservatives. We should forego chemical fertilizers slowly, it is not only harmful for humans but in long way takes away fertility. Investing in biotechnology( plant based proteins and vegan milk) and canning factors will definitely help in cutb up the price.we have to make agriculture profitable but not at the expense of the framers and farm laborers. Our government never opened agro based factories so that agricultural laborers could switch. Our government promoted claws beneficial for big business owners not even small pr medium ones.
