Sheikh Kalimuddin, India Climate Witness Testimonial 2008
Agricultural pattern is changing due to erratic behaviour of monsoons. More stress is on cultivation of hybrid and high yielding verities of crops. Traditional and indigenous crop verities are mostly marginalised. We are now using more chemical fertilizers and pesticides as the productivity is falling and also due to increased risk of crop disease outbreaks. Our rivers don’t have enough fish to catch these days.
