We are destroying the beauty of Nature

We are destroying Nature by Industrialised Agriculture

Increase in population requires a large amount of food and commercial farming practices have had catastrophic consequences, leading to the destruction of soil and ecosystems

• Deforestation and water depletion are becoming prevalent issues. The rearing of livestock for meat further exacerbates the problem, especially with the extensive land needed for fodder and grain production.

• Intensive practices like battery chicken systems, and overstocked aquaculture not only are against animal welfare but also contribute to environmental degradation by the use of antibiotics and hormones.

• The depletion of fish stocks due to over fishing adds to the urgency of finding sustainable food production methods.

It is evident that the current agricultural practices are not sustainable and are leading to food filled with harmful poisonous chemicals , posing risks to both our health and the environment.

The indiscriminate use of pesticides, weedicides, chemical fertilizers has poisoned the soil, depleted water tables, resulting in the production of food contaminated with harmful chemicals linked to health disorder leading to diseases, including cancer, being prevalent all over Punjab

Fields of Rice have been harvested in Punjab and land ploughed for the next Crop Endless Fields of Potatoes follow using weedicide to clear weeds and extensively sprayed by pesticides

Punjab , known as the granary of India, now faces the harsh reality of environmental degradation by the multi cropping agricultural practices like wheat followed by Rice, and short term crops like potatoes, maize.

Large amount of underground water pumped up to grow crops has plummeted underground water to alarming levels , soil salinity has occurred in some areas .

The distressing sight of a 'cancer train' from Punjab to a hospital in Rajasthan serves as a stark reminder of the disastrous consequences of industrialised agriculture destroying nature and our health.

Nature is now hitting back hard with the recent pandemic, amplified by floods, storms, cyclones, wildfires, extreme weather conditions spanning from freezing cold to intolerable heat, destroying crops  The environment is buckling under the weight of our actions, and the looming threat of global warming and climate change only adds to the urgency.  A question that demands immediate attention  is that :

Will future generations have enough food to eat ? The solution lies in going back to nature:  Cultivating food organically by emulating natural processes through aquaponics and permaculture,

we can grow food without harming the environment - Grow local and eat local - should be our Motto
