Why India’s Farming System Is Failing

[Species]

India's agriculture is entirely dependent on crop varieties produced by Western corporates, the basis of India's green revolution.

That's quite shocking, even Bangladesh has successfully produced and has been farming its own varieties.

This is due to Modi allowing Western GMO foods into India.

Indian farmers cannot make their own seeds and are now forced to buy seeds every sowing season.

This has been resulting is big losses and farmers have been committing suicides.

It's such a bold statement why the entire farming system is failing
But I think video points out that they copied US farming policy without really adopting to local needs
US farming cannot work without gov subsidy - US farming model is very abusive towards farmers and it's a perpetual cycle of corporate greed, debts on and on

India probably needs to test out successful, sustainable farming model in one state and than role it out nationally

It is by design.

Modi and sanghis are working for the West.

They want to eliminate all Indian farmers and replace them with Western food conglomerates.

American agriculture is big farm farming, they wiped out the natives and had big farms without borders. Therefore, Americans use large agricultural machines for production.
However, Indians are aboriginal people, they can't learn the agricultural model of the United States, do they want to eliminate the aboriginal people（themselves）?
