Indian farmers commit suicide due to devastation caused by GM crops

Indian farmers commit suicide due to devastation caused by GM crops

On May 11, I linked to a video report on Indian Farmer suicides. What is happening in India is a planned genocide: destroy multi - generational farmers and hand over their land to multinationals. This is all being done bys design; it is not an accident. Here's a quote from above article:

"The report, entitled, "Every Thirty Minutes: Farmer Suicides, Human Rights and the Agrarian Crisis in India," (http://www.chrgj.org/publications/d...) explains that Indian policy has stripped many farmers of their livelihoods by greatly decreasing the value of their crops. Combined with the introduction of GM crops that trap farmers into an endless cycle of debt without providing any substantial benefits, and you end up with a society marked by despair, hopelessness, and an increase in suicides."
