Is our food
safe? A red alert question that Ramanjaneyulu, puts out to all of us. Hear him
talk about the quality of food we are eating. Listen to the reasons we need to
adapt to organic farming as a results of excessive use of chemical pesticides
and horrifying facts and statistics, surrounding them. He alerts us to the
damage we are doing to our ecological footprints. In his heart wrenching talk,
Ramanjaneyulu, highlights the plight of farmers and the reasons they commit
suicide and the many reasons that farmers and farming should not die.
“We are what
we eat and plants give us what we feed.” He is waging a war against the use of
pesticides in agricultural activities and has challenged the traditional
methods of farming. Apart from running the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture
as the Executive Director, he also runs a small outlet, Sahaja Ahaaram, which
stocks pest-free products from farmers. After leaving his full-time government
job, Ramanjaneyulu dedicated himself to the benefit of farmers and his campaign,
‘India for Safe Food’.
This talk
was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently
organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
