37. BULLS Vs TRACTORS
v4
“Petrol is required for transport, but if you are localized, there is
no question of transport. You don’t require petrol… the oxen will
solve the problem of transport.” – Srila Prabhupada

speed
3 -ox teams pulling a double-bottom

1 tractor with a 5-bottom
plough: 20 acres a day
Fuel Grains, legumes, grasses Gasoline

burning bio-gas and top-quality organic
fertilizer. After natural death: leather and
horn for crafts
Pollutants, gas fumes, large
hunks of junked
equipment

acres
Capital-intensive, market-
oriented. Grain farmer
needs at least 400 acres to
survive!
Employment One man can farm only a few acres. Nearly
everyone in the village gets involved in
growing food.
One man can farm many
acres, putting dozens of
men out of work.
Sustainability Under spiritually enlightened leaders who
protect the land and accept taxes in the form
of grains and produce, ox-power farming
can sustain itself, on and on and on.
Finished as soon as cheap
petroleum runs out

40. You produce foodgrains.
Why you are going to
produce tools and
implements and... Of
course, we do not
condemn. But at the
sacrifice of producing
foodgrains, we simply
open big, big tire
factory… So now eat tire
instead of getting food
grains. So this is
misdirected civilization.

41. LOCALIZATION VS GLOBALIZATION
Effect of Globalization – MNC Exploitation
Behind capitalization, there is impetus of
insatiable greed.
