Recap by Tammy AI
I have family involved in farming in Canada. The government here wants to cut back on the amount of fertilizer used. We are the second largest exporter of fertilizer in the world. They have contaminated almost all of China's ground water for drinking. Family members complain about lower crop yields. Then again they are thinking about money today. Forget global warming. Food production will be the leading problem in the near future. Painting yourself into a corner comes to mind.
I am baffled. The Asian stores in Hamburg Germany carry only, from India, Basmati rice. I thought that is India's most produced rice variant. I am wrong, unbelievable.
Indeed, basmati rice is a tougher and more tasty variation indigenous there but has a lower bulk yield and is exported or sold to those who are wealthier. And of course also saved and eaten by those who grow them locally in india. I too was unaware that basmati rice was actually a more resilient crop than the monoculture white rice they plant in those water stressed regions.
@@fritz3388really wow😮I always find a lot of Thai Jasmine rice in Cottbus, Dresden and Konstanz had that aswell. I only notice that basmati rice is now twice asmuch as Jasmine rice, but I was kinda expecting for that to happen.😅❤ Edit: a 5 Kilo bag of Jasmine Thai rice is 12 Euros and Basmati 24 Euros for the same amount.
Diversification is the key. By reducing the number of variables, the number of outcomes is reduced. With growing conditions in flux, the solutions need to cover the ones foreseen, with room for change. If one harvest is down, another is thriving. The same conditions might not repeat for years; variety is the key...
Yeah we should move away from monoculture, all it takes is one disease to destroy the production of an entire crop because of the lack of genetic diversity between each plant. Its happened before (eg: the Gros Michel banana, potato famine, coffee rust) and will happen again
I'm not sure how purple compares to the once valued South Asian red rice (raktaśāli). That I know of, purple rice is valued only in China and South/South-East Asia valued other. As far as ancient grains of Asia, perhaps among the once most valued are traditional cultivars of barley, job's tears (gavedhukā, coix lacryma-jobi), semi-wild rice (oryza nivara), ṣaṣṭika (60-day rice, grown in Kerala as navara), barynard and kodo millet, and uddālaka (said to be a wild kodo millet). I think those are the most important. All of them would be important for fiber and some perhaps for secondary metabolites such as tannins, flavonoids, terpenes, or other.
What about Amaranth would that grow well there in india?or Philippines or Thailand it grew well here in Vancouver Canada it was very dry and hot here ĺast summer, I grew for beauty of flowers, didn't know it's edible the leaves plus dried seeds, I will grow again next year grows all over the world
Have you seen Andrew Millison's amazing videos on the Water Revolution (3 years ago) and Permaculture Revolution (posted a few weeks ago) in India? Many villages in arid parts of Maharashtra etc. which rely on monsoon rains alone and were drought stricken 5 years ago have been transformed in amazing short time and now have high groundwater levels and drought resilience plus they have organic farming with diverse crops, prosperity and biodiversity.
Do u mean the black rice? I just tried it out a few weeks ago and my family and our friends loved it aswell! ( I made mixed grain rice with it and added some peas aswell) 😊❤
@@lisal.1114 I think what I ate are a hybrid of the traditional black glutinous rice and normal rice. The brand I ate called it Riceberry. But I did a quick search and there are many other variants from Taiwan and elsewhere! The variant I are retained the natural fragrance of the traditional black glutinous rice but was less starchy.
few years ago when my family took a trip to my parents hometown out in the province, the rice they fed us was purple and red. I was at first skeptical since I'm used to the white jasmine rice. but after one bite, I fell in love with the grains grown in the village. now I kinda miss it since they only sell white varietys of rice in my town
Polarizing for sure but she's not wrong though, the results of green revolution are bare before us and it's certainly no miracle as we are finding out. I did feed humans but it hurt the "world" too.
Maybe because it kills the natural flora and fauna? And because farmers now had to BUY seeds, that they previously stored themselves of their own crop, and also had to buy pesticides now became indepted to greedy banks, and this caused many suicides among farmers? also the variety of crops went down from many hundreds to af few plant types. and many more complications...
Agree. We do what we know. Hindsight is 20-20 What is important is that the LEARN and be open to change. She should see herself as part of the process for change.
Loosing all those traditional true and tried heirloom varieties is an incalculable loss. Of course there was an agenda behind the green revolution. Who was creating it ?? Always follow the money.
There are statistics and facts in this video people should be aware of today. I added this to my playlist interesting by others so people can readily find information.
I am first generation away from farming. I am software developer now working in Atlanta. When we were young we go to grandparents home it’s a country side with lot of beauty away from the city life. Farmers around grow more than 100 varieties of crops in a year but farming changed now it’s a monoculture of few crops less than 10 varieties. Also the ecological damage in rural india is disastrous. When we were young we pick the fruits grown every where in the village typically tropical fruits. But you don’t see them no where in villages anymore but in organic markets in the name of exotic fruits. I wish people should unite and change the living culture more into ecofriendly, natural and stress free life
This is the true and upcoming Green Revolution and it seems finally worthy of being named such, biodiversity and good traditions at its core. The previous mega-petrochemical and fossil profiteer interests driven "green revolutions" are unworthy for they only enabled more harm than good. This has been what kept me going this whole time, refusing to take a premature end, I prefer the long and arduous marathon, it's what the study of life is about, and the question of existence and loss ceases.
Nobody suggested forgetting the traditional plants. The prime goal was and is to feed the 8 billion people living on earth right now. You heard what the voice said, with India's export ban, several countries have fear that their population goes hungry or must die of hunger. Of course the traditional plants should have always been used on small patches of land, at the least they are needed as input for research. Where do the farmers get their oil for cooking? From the shop? Payed with hard-earned money? I would have always used the traditional plants for my own diet.
Nobody? Certainly not here, but nobody? The historical actions of intensive industrial monoculture and petrochemical interests in the previous hyperprivatisation "green revolution" in India and the Global South have suggested otherwise. Perhaps those were "unintended consequences" driving many cash poor rural farmers in India(and many other places) into drowning debt, loss of land and suicide. Again, "nobody"??
Have you seen Andrew Millison's amazing videos on the Water Revolution and Permaculture Revolution in the arid villages of Maharashtra that were facing severe drought 5 years ago but now have high groundwater levels, drought reslience, a wide diversity of crops with organic farming, biodiversity and increasing prosperity.
I garden for myself and my family. One of the big things we do is compost. Vegetable scraps, leaves, grass, just about anything. We also burn wood scraps. Fallen branches, twigs, that sort of stuff. The we mix it all together and till it into the garden. We get amazing crops. Does India or Thailand compost? I know they use manure.
If Punjab is not careful it will run out of ground water . A very fatual but interesting video thanks for sharing 👍 greetings from England 🇬🇧 Simon and Beth ❤️ 🙋
The first 9 minutes has nothing to do with either rice or climate change. It's all about pumping too much water out of aquifers in Punjab because it's easier for the farmers to turn on their pumps instead of using water from the canals which are fed by the rivers.
It is true that green revolution fed the poor wirld esp India but for which ....having said that we are going back to correct the mistakes thru multi cropping, soil improvement, water conservation and switch to millets.
I should imagine that there were many types and colours of rice. When we look at the potatoes they are coloured in a rainbow. We must not think that the Chinese or Indian rice from 3,000 years ago, are the same rice we eat today.
Maybe once these varieties get into meal prep companies like Factor or Hello Fresh instead of just fancy restaurants more people will try them and not be afraid of it.
New scientifically researching for climate between two months if possible it is definitely gain a opportunity but researched for types of paddy or grain
here in Canada basmati sells for generally double long grain white and Calrose i work at a super market so i see the prices almost everyday so if the farmers arent being payed right you know some bullshit is going on
Basmati rice is aged up to 2 years. It spends time somewhere before it is cleaned and packaged. Because it is a long skinny grain, there is a high percentage of rice that beaks. The expensive basmati consists of full size rice grains. The broken ones are also sold but are much less expensive.
Rice and wheat have never been a staple food for India until the green revolution, India staple food is always millets, millets require very less to nil water, plus they are resistance to illness and attack from insects and that results in almost nil spending on pesticide on them, so millets are organic, healthy choice and require less water to grow.
Sweet potato is a better choice than rice to salvage starvation in future. Food technologists shall modify the DNA of sweet potato to reduce it's sugar content.
All these regions have a much better presence of root vegetables and tubers in their diet than the western hemisphere. There is a reason why grains are a staple despite the significant presence of those tubers. Shelf life and ease of storage. Also rodent and wild pig population in these areas are very high and growing tubers battling them is very costly. Not to mention the grey secret no one wants to speak about, grain production is supported by governments everywhere especially for biofuel production. The more pressure there is to push these countries to non-fossiliferous fuels, the frequent export bans and protectionism around grains will be. A ban on using food grains for fuel was revoked in India since 2016 when the current ruling party first came to power, to promote domestic production and use of biofuel. So if the price of biofuel ought to be kept competitive, the government cannot afford to let farmers shift from grains to something else.
Green revolution and heavy use of pesticides killed fertile soil of India. 6 feet of fertile soil at the time of independence now decimated totally. Farmers have to buy terminator seeds with exorbitant prices and rely for monoploysant pesticides to get good yield. These modern farming techniques are designed for corporates, and increase in farmer suicide is one of the main reason for India to go back to vedic farming techniques. Save farmers.
Its not throughout india but only in punjab state and somewhat haryana. Where the gullible farmers have destroyed their ecosystem by using rampant water, pesticides etc. The water level has gone below critical level, pesticides has given numerous cancer cases. But still the farmers want more subsidies.
Terrifying to see the the devastation climate change is inflicting on developing countries, inspiring to see people realize that the green revolution has been colonial violence and bringing back priceless diversity. (Flooded field monoculture rice production produces 12% of global methane emissions - WWF)
Punjab actually has it good, take all the negatives in Punjab and then only plant one type of grain that is white medium grain rice all year round despite the seasons and you have my place in Central Luzon, Philippines. we completely import most corn, soy, wheat, barley, oats etc and people here don't eat rye, sorghum and millet, no wonder we are in a food crisis here in the Philippines, it's not just the government but the people have a lot of faults in our predicament, the best thing our government can do is to teach the people to have a varied grain diet instead of stubbornly holding on to the belief that it is not a proper meal if it doesn't contain whole grain rice.

This 'report' is extremely out of date. Recently, i visited the GKVK agricultural universiry in Bangalore and they were showcasing variety of rice grains that are drought resistant, pest resistant and provide more yield. They have been researching and distributing varieties for over 5 years now. Their seed bank has far too many varieties to count. And they are wducating farmers on cycling grains. The reason for the shortage is both the delayed monsoon due to el nino phenomenon and rich countries trying to short change India. Then again this is CNA that is incapable of basic research
Don't worry in the end it's survival of the richest. If global food production can only feed 95% of the planet. Who will stave to death? Figure it out.
If you are interested in who starves to death I suggest you learn some history about the British Rule in India. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be pushed to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. Look up Mike Davis' Observer article 'Ghosts in the Dust of Gujarat' from his award-winning Late Victorian Holocausts about how the British stole India's foodgrains for their own Food Security and Profit killing tens of millions in some 3 dozen or so famines in 190 years - the Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps [rejecting those too weak to work - left to die by themselves] for victims of the 1877 Madras Famine - giving less starvation rations than Buchenwald and killing 94% of inmates. Whilst millions died, record amounts of Indian grain was exported for Britain and lowering prices for Westerners. Disreali also organized the biggest feast in human history the 1877 Delhi Durbar - to celebrate Vicky being name Empress of India - to match her cousin the Kaiser - whilst 100k a week died in the famine. Learn how White Supremacist War Criminal Winston Churchill also killed millions in the 1942-3 Bengal Holocaust - as Collective Punishment for Bengal and then - after the British censorship was broken after a year - acted to prevent Food Aid from the USA, Canada, Australia (and even Japan) reaching his victims [there had been no shortage of food in India as a whole when the famine struck but the British took it] and diverting it it to Britain to stockpile and manipulate postwar prices and feed White Italians. Even Nazis allowed Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941. Last month the UK Guardian posted this YT video How British colonialism increased diabetes in south Asians | It's Complicated which asserts that in just the 90 years of the official Raj (1857-1947), there were 25 major famines - compared to just 17 in the whole of India in the previous 2,000 years. I was familiar wit hthe famous 1877 study by Walford which showed 30 famines in British-occupied parts of India in 120 years [1757-1877] compared to 17 in the whole of India in the previous 2,000 years as the native rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. Look up also Jason Hickel India for his AJ English articles on how Britain looted India of $45 Trillion and the Dec 2022 one with Dylan Sullivan on how 100 million Indians were killed by Brit colonialism in just 40 years.
It gave 'high yield' only and only when there was not environmental or financial stressors. Why is it so hard for you to understand that those varieties were bred only and only for higher yields from 'Chemical Fertilizers' and not for drought and flood resistance? They were also not bred for disease resistance as they relied entirely on pesticides. Which means they are bred as a high investment- risk- high value endeavor. Which means if one season's crop fails, you are done stuck in debt trap. There is no natural resislance for that crop that would let you reduce investment to recover the losses next year. While the native varieties have developed resilient to drought and floods and is disease resistant and will produce from organic manure. So even if you suffer crop loss in one season, you could still recover your losses as you wouldn't have to take out loans for pesticides and fertilizers for next season. It's not the 'high yield' seasons of new age varieties that is the 'problem' obviously, it's what happens to the sustainability of farming after one season of it fails- which it does and will continue to do in more frequency with climate change. The frequent extreme weather from climate change was not there in the past 30 years where these seeds gave 'high yield'
Says an idiot who clearly knows nothing about plants, soil and human health!!! Your mentality is why foods are now starting to lose there nutrients and have made people sick and caused diseases. As well as destroyed the land and environment!!

Punjabis should have welcomed the Farm Bill and could have gotten incentive from The Private entities to grow something else which arent much water demanding
@@kaustubhraizada do your politics at any other day. Please keep politics and this matter aside, fool. If Congress was so great, then they wouldn't have lost so badly despite people giving them chances for more than 50+ years in government. I am not saying they were bad, but now we need reforms and new mindset. But we need to take agriculture sector with utmost care. And Farm bill was definitely introduced to increase the earnings of Farmers but oppositions propaganda and west media represented it like they will be forced to sell at low price to Private companies. And later Khalistani extremists also got some shots to play. Many international Icons(Rihanna) tweeted against this bill. Corruption was always there, I am not denying it but here on Farm bill, it would have definitely helped them to grow and to learn. And it was not certain that what happened in India a decade ago, will continue to happen now too.
Every humanity should all go back to the pre plant based era of mono-cropping. Mono cropping to feed plant based is causing too much damage to the environment and, therefore, possibly to the climate. Prioritise sustainability, not growth at its cost.
@sgassocsg Already here. Catch me before it's too late. Industrialised mono-cropping will end the planet as we know it. Topsoil degradation around the world might result in a shortage of food soon.
@@paadipanta2607 wise is he who believes in solid scientific proof and not just their orthodoxies. Maybe u should get some wisdom. You dont even have an argument by giving me an analogy between beer and water. It's an established fact that there is no substitute for water, whether its fermented water or flavoured water or carbonated 😂. Get out of ur orthodoxies and learn how to think in a rational manner. Then we will talk about wisdom.
@@paadipanta2607and when u get a chronic disease, please dont go to some ayurved guy. Definitely go see an alopethic doctor where medicine is painstakingly tried and tested and has a logic behind it. And thank which ever god u believe in, that you were born after antibiotics and other life saving drugs were invented
@@sasnad3 Look who is talking, the guy who doesn't know there are 1000s of Ayurvedic doctors in India who treat the patients. Before talking about wisdom, learn about balance and the tri-dosha. The waters you mentioned are just useless like your arguments, drink warm water if you can, which has low surface tension and itself acts as medicine.
Your hatred is misplaced. Every country is doing it. It's the industry as a whole. Pinning down on just one country goes to show how successful media propaganda is towards the ill-informed masses.
Yes, the huge amounts of CO2 from coal burning, feed the plants and makes the earth greener. Thats not my wish, it is scientifically proven. In areas where no chemical fertilizer has ever been spread. The green-communist religion is insane and does not care if million of people starve to death. Remember Communist Chinas big leap forward.
For more than 100 years the expert keep saying we going to go famine because we do not produce enough food. We listen to this bs for 100 years and now again
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE cassava do not require much work.. while rice need a lot of work, water just to prepare the field.. sooner the explosion of population will demand more rice while the land will not gain any more hectares..
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE no I don't..Rice rule as the supreme crop and the staples of Asian.. but I believe it will be someday that Asian have to learn to adapt and supplement rice with cassava to satisfy daily calorie need..
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE I may not know all, but I know which one rich in starch, provides calorie, and easy to plant... Have you had any experiences with cassava ?

Oblivion at its finest. Someone did not know Thailand is a leading cassava exporter of the world (over 3m tons yearly). And, cassava plantation surely has its fine share of problems. Next, you need to learn about palm date problem.

Basmati rice is aged up to 2 years. It spends time somewhere before it is cleaned and packaged. Because it is a long skinny grain, there is a high percentage of rice that beaks. The expensive basmati consists of full size rice grains. The broken ones are also sold but are much less expensive.

Rice and wheat have never been a staple food for India until the green revolution, India staple food is always millets, millets require very less to nil water, plus they are resistance to illness and attack from insects and that results in almost nil spending on pesticide on them, so millets are organic, healthy choice and require less water to grow.
Highly valuable information full of hope for the future. We need to follow nature more carefully.
Sweet potato is a better choice than rice to salvage starvation in future. Food technologists shall modify the DNA of sweet potato to reduce it's sugar content.
All these regions have a much better presence of root vegetables and tubers in their diet than the western hemisphere. There is a reason why grains are a staple despite the significant presence of those tubers. Shelf life and ease of storage. Also rodent and wild pig population in these areas are very high and growing tubers battling them is very costly. Not to mention the grey secret no one wants to speak about, grain production is supported by governments everywhere especially for biofuel production.
The more pressure there is to push these countries to non-fossiliferous fuels, the frequent export bans and protectionism around grains will be. A ban on using food grains for fuel was revoked in India since 2016 when the current ruling party first came to power, to promote domestic production and use of biofuel. So if the price of biofuel ought to be kept competitive, the government cannot afford to let farmers shift from grains to something else.

Just eat potato then.

Is this purple rice related to the Chinese black "Forbidden rice"?
They are dozens varieties of black rice. This "purple" variety is one of "black" rice.
Only two rivers flow in Indian part of Punjab not five.Other three went to Pakistan.So Punjab is incomplete.
Green revolution and heavy use of pesticides killed fertile soil of India. 6 feet of fertile soil at the time of independence now decimated totally. Farmers have to buy terminator seeds with exorbitant prices and rely for monoploysant pesticides to get good yield. These modern farming techniques are designed for corporates, and increase in farmer suicide is one of the main reason for India to go back to vedic farming techniques. Save farmers.
The very thing that we need for our survival is also the very thing that's ruining our planet😞
🥺😳😲 Greed is running and ruining the planet.
Always follow the money. 💰 🤑🤑🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Its not throughout india but only in punjab state and somewhat haryana. Where the gullible farmers have destroyed their ecosystem by using rampant water, pesticides etc. The water level has gone below critical level, pesticides has given numerous cancer cases. But still the farmers want more subsidies.
I thought it just tasted better I don’t mind it being healthier tho
Terrifying to see the the devastation climate change is inflicting on developing countries, inspiring to see people realize that the green revolution has been colonial violence and bringing back priceless diversity. (Flooded field monoculture rice production produces 12% of global methane emissions - WWF)
everything has a price
Punjab actually has it good, take all the negatives in Punjab and then only plant one type of grain that is white medium grain rice all year round despite the seasons and you have my place in Central Luzon, Philippines. we completely import most corn, soy, wheat, barley, oats etc and people here don't eat rye, sorghum and millet, no wonder we are in a food crisis here in the Philippines, it's not just the government but the people have a lot of faults in our predicament, the best thing our government can do is to teach the people to have a varied grain diet instead of stubbornly holding on to the belief that it is not a proper meal if it doesn't contain whole grain rice.

This 'report' is extremely out of date. Recently, i visited the GKVK agricultural universiry in Bangalore and they were showcasing variety of rice grains that are drought resistant, pest resistant and provide more yield. They have been researching and distributing varieties for over 5 years now. Their seed bank has far too many varieties to count. And they are wducating farmers on cycling grains.
The reason for the shortage is both the delayed monsoon due to el nino phenomenon and rich countries trying to short change India.
Then again this is CNA that is incapable of basic research
Don't worry in the end it's survival of the richest. If global food production can only feed 95% of the planet. Who will stave to death? Figure it out.
If you are interested in who starves to death I suggest you learn some history about the British Rule in India. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be pushed to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. Look up Mike Davis' Observer article 'Ghosts in the Dust of Gujarat' from his award-winning Late Victorian Holocausts about how the British stole India's foodgrains for their own Food Security and Profit killing tens of millions in some 3 dozen or so famines in 190 years - the Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps [rejecting those too weak to work - left to die by themselves] for victims of the 1877 Madras Famine - giving less starvation rations than Buchenwald and killing 94% of inmates. Whilst millions died, record amounts of Indian grain was exported for Britain and lowering prices for Westerners. Disreali also organized the biggest feast in human history the 1877 Delhi Durbar - to celebrate Vicky being name Empress of India - to match her cousin the Kaiser - whilst 100k a week died in the famine.
Learn how White Supremacist War Criminal Winston Churchill also killed millions in the 1942-3 Bengal Holocaust - as Collective Punishment for Bengal and then - after the British censorship was broken after a year - acted to prevent Food Aid from the USA, Canada, Australia (and even Japan) reaching his victims [there had been no shortage of food in India as a whole when the famine struck but the British took it] and diverting it it to Britain to stockpile and manipulate postwar prices and feed White Italians. Even Nazis allowed Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
Last month the UK Guardian posted this YT video How British colonialism increased diabetes in south Asians | It's Complicated
which asserts that in just the 90 years of the official Raj (1857-1947), there were 25 major famines - compared to just 17 in the whole of India in the previous 2,000 years. I was familiar wit hthe famous 1877 study by Walford which showed 30 famines in British-occupied parts of India in 120 years [1757-1877] compared to 17 in the whole of India in the previous 2,000 years as the native rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines.
Look up also Jason Hickel India for his AJ English articles on how Britain looted India of $45 Trillion and the Dec 2022 one with Dylan Sullivan on how 100 million Indians were killed by Brit colonialism in just 40 years.
This rice sticky....not main staple
the new rice plants had way larger yields, its why they got planted. worked for 30 years so really can't say was bad way to go
you work at Monsanto ?
It gave 'high yield' only and only when there was not environmental or financial stressors. Why is it so hard for you to understand that those varieties were bred only and only for higher yields from 'Chemical Fertilizers' and not for drought and flood resistance? They were also not bred for disease resistance as they relied entirely on pesticides. Which means they are bred as a high investment- risk- high value endeavor. Which means if one season's crop fails, you are done stuck in debt trap. There is no natural resislance for that crop that would let you reduce investment to recover the losses next year. While the native varieties have developed resilient to drought and floods and is disease resistant and will produce from organic manure. So even if you suffer crop loss in one season, you could still recover your losses as you wouldn't have to take out loans for pesticides and fertilizers for next season.
It's not the 'high yield' seasons of new age varieties that is the 'problem' obviously, it's what happens to the sustainability of farming after one season of it fails- which it does and will continue to do in more frequency with climate change.
The frequent extreme weather from climate change was not there in the past 30 years where these seeds gave 'high yield'
Says an idiot who clearly knows nothing about plants, soil and human health!!!
Your mentality is why foods are now starting to lose there nutrients and have made people sick and caused diseases. As well as destroyed the land and environment!!
Promote sugarcane so that the ETHANOL THAT IS DERIVED FROM BIOLOGICAL DECOMPOSITION CAN BOOST FUEL ON BIODEGRADABLE OILS.PROPER FOOD MSP PRICE FOR SUGARCANE IN mandya,karnataka 😢😢😢

Rice and only rice and vegetables.
Punjabis should have welcomed the Farm Bill and could have gotten incentive from The Private entities to grow something else which arent much water demanding
farm bill forced the disputes to dm court then tribunal and made payment frauds to civil matter instead of crimnal read farm bill andhbhakta
same farm minister son is caught in 100 crore scams
That state has hard future. With increasing farming development in KA,MH,TN,AP,TL Punjab farming will become less effective
@@anirudh2704 The only thing that can save punjab is Industry and Service sector.
@@kaustubhraizada do your politics at any other day. Please keep politics and this matter aside, fool. If Congress was so great, then they wouldn't have lost so badly despite people giving them chances for more than 50+ years in government. I am not saying they were bad, but now we need reforms and new mindset. But we need to take agriculture sector with utmost care. And Farm bill was definitely introduced to increase the earnings of Farmers but oppositions propaganda and west media represented it like they will be forced to sell at low price to Private companies. And later Khalistani extremists also got some shots to play. Many international Icons(Rihanna) tweeted against this bill. Corruption was always there, I am not denying it but here on Farm bill, it would have definitely helped them to grow and to learn. And it was not certain that what happened in India a decade ago, will continue to happen now too.
I love Vandana Shiva shes such an amazing rollemodell. Giving me hope we can fight against the tyrany of the elites
Every humanity should all go back to the pre plant based era of mono-cropping. Mono cropping to feed plant based is causing too much damage to the environment and, therefore, possibly to the climate.
Prioritise sustainability, not growth at its cost.
Back to little family farms, and traditional homesteads. A wealth of knowledge and skills is learned and maintained at these. 😊❤
LOL. You go first pal.
@sgassocsg Already here. Catch me before it's too late. Industrialised mono-cropping will end the planet as we know it. Topsoil degradation around the world might result in a shortage of food soon.
Let the third world go back to pre-industrial agriculture. We in the West will stick with our science.
the ayurved guy still believes in the theories that we discarded ages ago.
Discarded? Which planet do you live in? It is like saying, I drink only beer; I don't need water. Grow some wisdom bud.
@@paadipanta2607 wise is he who believes in solid scientific proof and not just their orthodoxies. Maybe u should get some wisdom. You dont even have an argument by giving me an analogy between beer and water. It's an established fact that there is no substitute for water, whether its fermented water or flavoured water or carbonated 😂. Get out of ur orthodoxies and learn how to think in a rational manner. Then we will talk about wisdom.
@@paadipanta2607and when u get a chronic disease, please dont go to some ayurved guy. Definitely go see an alopethic doctor where medicine is painstakingly tried and tested and has a logic behind it. And thank which ever god u believe in, that you were born after antibiotics and other life saving drugs were invented
@@paadipanta2607plus ur ayurved guys dont even know basic human anatomy. How will u fix something you don't understand.
@@sasnad3 Look who is talking, the guy who doesn't know there are 1000s of Ayurvedic doctors in India who treat the patients. Before talking about wisdom, learn about balance and the tri-dosha. The waters you mentioned are just useless like your arguments, drink warm water if you can, which has low surface tension and itself acts as medicine.
Rice is grown in summer, wheat in winter
Have it ever come across your mind that, in large part of the world, there is no winter?
Nothing worse than bad environmental advise.
didnt amir khan and his cohorts already solved the water problem of india?
White rice, white sugar, white bread, All addictive all not good for you
Thanks China🇨🇳 for continued
- building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and
- burning more and more *fossil fuel.*
Your hatred is misplaced. Every country is doing it. It's the industry as a whole.
Pinning down on just one country goes to show how successful media propaganda is towards the ill-informed masses.
Yes, the huge amounts of CO2 from coal burning, feed the plants and makes the earth greener. Thats not my wish, it is scientifically proven. In areas where no chemical fertilizer has ever been spread. The green-communist religion is insane and does not care if million of people starve to death. Remember Communist Chinas big leap forward.
Thanks to America and Europe for polluting the earth for the last 2 century. Top carbon contributors for centuries.
Western countries have used coal fired power plants for decades. The rest of the world is catching up.
Thank for the EU for stopping all dirty works so China can take over and manufactures all those products for the EU to consume.
god CNA stop using feet as measurements in your translation! is this CNN or CNA?
For more than 100 years the expert keep saying we going to go famine because we do not produce enough food. We listen to this bs for 100 years and now again
basically the time change , problems change
OMG you are interviewing a conspiracy theorist Vandana shiva. Not a word from her mouth is true
Human Overpopulation mate. :)
Sooner, Asian have to learn from African where cassava is a major crop.Cassava is a gift from GoD to give to poor countries.
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE cassava do not require much work.. while rice need a lot of work, water just to prepare the field.. sooner the explosion of population will demand more rice while the land will not gain any more hectares..
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE no I don't..Rice rule as the supreme crop and the staples of Asian.. but I believe it will be someday that Asian have to learn to adapt and supplement rice with cassava to satisfy daily calorie need..
@@GRASSHOPPERSTYLE I may not know all, but I know which one rich in starch, provides calorie, and easy to plant...
Have you had any experiences with cassava ?
African love rice, just they are too poor to import them, and rice need a lot of manpower and weather condition to grow...
Next, you need to know about the palm date.. a godsend gift for Middle East
Oblivion at its finest. Someone did not know Thailand is a leading cassava exporter of the world (over 3m tons yearly).
And, cassava plantation surely has its fine share of problems.
Next, you need to learn about palm date problem.
also noticed this happened in countries with communism
within one generation of communism most farming values and diversity was lost
just look at the timelines
