He thanks Pagri for initiating the support for this effort. He points out that it has been the high cost of chemical green revolution agriculture combined with glut caused depression of prices that has led to the increase in farmer suicides. Also, mono-cropping like in wheat and rice with hybrid seeds of a few varieties has been a vulnerable kind of agriculture, and that now there is a need for transition to diversity in crop varieties and a bigger emphasis on traditional varieties of seeds. He is educating, guiding and encouraging farmers to transition to organic farming methods by visiting them in their farm fields. He emphasizes that this is the way to improve Punjab’s soil, water and air and restore the state back to the “Rangla Punjab” of bygone times. This is also a good way to help and save small farmers.
 
Please support the effort by donating to this Pagri project so that we can help more small farmers and help the needed transition in Punjab’s agriculture.
 
Thanks!
