Dear Ones,

Located on the other part of the world, I cannot respond to Michaele
specifically but can narrate our experience in India for whatever worth it
is.

Governments are invariebly with lagre corporation. Our government gives big
subsidies to synethetic fertilser and pesticide producers which are not
available to small farmers pursuing sustainable agriculture on the same
lines that the US govt gives away subsidies to big companies which comes to
about US $ 1 billion a day.

Citizens are farmers and.pr consumers know that such assistance is ot
available for healthy foods so they work on their own to take up campaigns
for encouraging small farmers to practice sustainable agriculture and to
provide them openings to their produce amongst the community. The message is
clear that your rely on your inner strength to pursue and promote good ways
of life. Best wishes.
