Crisis in theClimate, Health / Nutrition & Food Security Breakdown / Disharmony / Violence in Relationship between Man & Nature Crisis in Agriculture Lost harmonious relationship with Sunlight, Microbes, Soil, other Ecosystem Services like Insects Pollinating, Weeds & We do not see them as organic and contributors. From natural diversity, we have moved to monoculture.
- 64. Crisis of theProducer • The producers (farmers) who make up 50% of population are suffering • Producers also are forcibly made a consumer by having to buy from the market instead from a neighboring farmer itself, and suffering happens at multiple levels. (having to sell at minimum price but purchase at maximum price)
