vue - Root causes of Crisis in Indian Agriculture: Dr.G.Nammalvar at TEDxSonaCollege
Born in an agriculturist family in Thanjavur, Nammalvar got himself a BSc in agriculture from Annamalai University. After the drought of 1983 in many parts of Tamilnadu and the subsequent floods, Nammalvar realised that absence of trees was the cause of both disasters. He interacted with thousands of disillusioned farmers. Nammalvar was associated with the setting up of Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (leisa) in 10 districts with 3000 members. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"...We won't allow it(Genetically modified foods) to enter our country and our food system..."
How are you actually going to do that?
Big Corporations with deep pockets are already successful in introducing Genetically modified plants/livestock with more dominant traits, secretly into the not-yet-polluted native systems, there by genetically hijacking the purely organic system. Although genetically modified foods are banned, they take poor farmers to be the back door, an entry point through which they can secretly inject these foods. The farmers are lured by showing them how efficiently the new crops/livestock can produce food and get them profits. Once they get into the system, they spread through cross pollination, cross breeding with the native species for the want of these dominant traits. Even those who think that they are using organic are unknowingly cultivating/rearing GM crops/livestock.
There is a bigger plan to control the whole food by hijacking the native species and replacing them with GM crops, which lack the capability to reproduce, there by creating a kind of dependency on few evil corporations for the next supply of seeds/livestock.
So, what safeguards are taken to protect our country from these GM secret proliferation?
A random foreigner could just walk in as a tourist and drop some invasive species/ seeds onto cultivable land. How can anyone stop that? -
