Headline: 1,500 farmers commit mass suicide in India
What a message to start the day.
As we embark on this experiment, this project, this adventure it is good to add to the reasons that inspire us. We have our obvious reasons - health of our soil, our bodies, our community. But what about the health of our fellow farmers? What we are hoping to do together may help them by offering an alternative, offering hope.
Imagine if 1,500 farmers committed suicide in the USA not from financial debt (b/c our policy prevents it) but from the realization that their precious land is toxic from pesticides and slowly kills those that eat its produce? What would the Farm Bill look like after that?
