PB 28x21 cm. 2013/03/24 Psychology May 22 has been declared International Biodiversity Day by the United Nations. It gives us an opportunity to become aware of the rich biodiversity that has been evolved by our farmers as co-creators with nature. It also provides an opportunity to acknowledge the threats to our biodiversity and our rights from IPR monopolies and monocultures. Just as our Vedas and Upanishads have no individual authors, our rich biodiversity, including seeds, have been evolved cumulatively. They are a common heritage of present and future farm communities who have evolved them collectively. I recently joined tribals in Central India who have evolved thousands of rice varieties for their festival of “Akti”. Akti is a celebration of the relationship of the seed and the soil, and the sharing of the seed as a sacred duty to the Earth and the community. http://www.asianage.com/columnists/seeds-suicide-692 https://www.libs.uga.edu/reserves/docs/scans/seeds%20of%20suicide.pdf Farmer Suicidal Behaviour 323 Stress 324 SHIVA (Vandana); JALEES (Kunwar) 325 ddc GF 216380 216380 0 0 ddc 0 0 PSY AL AL 2013-03-24 2013.00 0 150.8863 SHIS GF01593 2021-09-25 00:00:00 2013-03-24 GF
