Europe having a large presence in agricultural industry of the world had other plans…
Yet Another ConspiracyEurope Union plans to bring a ban on our farmer’s support system ‘Endosulfan’. This pesticide is widely used by our farmers and has proved beneficial for the crop & the
bees that help cultivate 1/3rd of the crop

The Vicious CircleCentre for Science and Environment (CSE), India and a small group of NGOs from India
got together to create a pressure group to ban Endosulfan.

#Fact: Consumption of crop protection chemicals in India is only 2.5% of the global
consumption. Unlike public perception, Indian farmers are responsible and frugal users of pesticides and use them only when it is absolutely necessary. As they practice
sustainable farming their pesticide consumption is minimal.

You must be wondering…
How does thisaffect

Indian Farmers will have to buy expensive alternatives introduced by European Union that are harmful for the honeybees & the beneficial insects.
This will increase the rates and reduce the crop cultivation hence resulting into
Inflation

Increased HungerLosing honey bees will drop the productivity of 1/3 of food crop. Mostly vegetables, fruits, legumes and pulses which means a great compromise for mankind and the food diversity

Decline of Indian AgricultureOther Nations will take over India in the agricultural industry
thus leaving the farmers in a ‘no way out’ situation.
