May 27, 2021: Green Counter-Revolution
The so-called Green Revolution in India increased one measure of “productivity” at the cost of much else, including nutrition, sustainability, loss of biodiversity, and local loss of control. The Green Foundation based in Karnataka state started by encouraging local seed-saving and has built networks of women farmers who also process their own crops locally — improving local nutrition, economy, and environment. As of 2021, Green Foundation works with about 2400 farmers.
