6 Violence in of the Gandhi Soil in green revolution champion states are almost dead. Synthetic chemical intensive agriculture and Genetic engineering are threatening public health and leading to nutrition decline. Average monthly expenses (INR) for crop production per agricultural households (NSSO, GoI 2014): Seeds = USD 3.7 (11% of total expenses) Fertilizers /manures = USD 7.9 (24% of total expenses) Plant protection chemicals = USD 2.5 (8% of total expenses) Human labour = USD 6.9 (21% of total expenses) Costs of production, which includes hybrid and genetically engineered seeds, chemicals and irrigation etc., are increasing with every season pushing farmers into the debt trap and also to suicides. Between 1995 and 2014, more than 3,00,000 farmers, cultivators and agricultural labourers have committed suicide in India, which is equivalent to one farmer suicide every 30 minutes (EPW, May 2016).

Central Government Subsidy on Fertilizers = USD 10.9 Billion ( ) How long can this be Sustained?

8 Non violence & Sustainable: Organic is Way Forward!!! International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development IAASTD, 2008: the way the world grows its food will have to change radically to better serve the poor and the hungry if the world is to cope with a growing population and climate change while avoiding social breakdown and environmental collapse. FAO Save and Grow, 2011: the present paradigm of intensive crop production cannot meet the challenges of the new millennium. United Nation Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD, 2013: the world needs a paradigm shift in agricultural development: from a green revolution to an ecological intensification approach Indian National Commission on Farmers, 2006: organic farming as one of the potential options to help solve the agrarian crisis.

9 Organic of the Mahatma Present days exploitative and harmful agriculture would probably had prompted Mahatma Gandhi to initiate an Organic Satyagraha Mahatma Gandhi believed ( the agriculture being practised should be organic. Effort should be made to return at least as much as being taken from the soil. The things being used in agriculture should be labour intensive, appropriate and environment friendly. Hazardous experiences of Green Revolution only reinforces the fact that there is no better approach than non violent organic farming The civil society, the common people are joining hands and playing a catalytic role in promoting organic farming.
