AP villages declared pesticide-free
A quiet revolution led by women is taking place in the farmer suicide heartland of Andhra Pradesh. Once notorious for highest pesticide use, some 50 villages have declared themselves pesticide-free and seven fully organic villages have emerged. This is part of the largest ecological farming programme in the world, to show there is hope in agriculture without chemicals, indebtedness and suicide.
