Vandana Shiva is personally responsible for the devastating 2021 famine in Sri Lanka which lead to the resignation of the president.
"It was on the advice of Vandana Shiva, an Indian Environmentalist, that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa took the decision to ban chemical fertilisers in 2021

Is that a fact?,!

Propoganda. You cannot ban fertilisers in a go. It should have been phased. Mrs Vandana does not take responsibility, as she was not personally called. Also 2021 famine in sri lanka is as oblivious as potato famine in ireland and the famines in bengal. They were induced. Anti government party’s do a psyops to spread anti information and false hate. Get your facts right. Probably a bot

Yes,well she needs to do it again in India...(without sacking pm Modi )...because farmers are spraying all kinds of poison on their crops with advice from the pesticide wallas in the market and no one understands the impact its having on the soil......All she is doing is trying to educate the people about the multi million dollar chemical industry...(petrochemical/synthetic fertilizer/pesticide)..the decisions they make are up to them.....

@@katherinegreen-we1ec she has her own organic farms. Reality is most soil in india has lost its fertility, and cannot grow food without fertilisers. This is an aftermath of introduction of dollar as reserve currency after removing gold standard from 1972 by US. Which led to suppression of agriculture and manufacturing and rise of speculative trading and tech industries. The past bubble bursts and outright capitalism haven’t taught the people nothing. Modi government can try, but they have limitations. They can’t cause change if people themselves don’t want to. The best you and I can do; buy local promote organic farming. Save that trade. Because some people prefer practical examples(chaos) instead of logic. Remain on the good side!
