Newly planted rice saplings have been underwater since July after torrential rain battered northern India, with landslides and flash floods sweeping through the region.
Last month, India, which is the world’s largest exporter of rice, announced a ban on exporting non-basmati white rice in a bid to calm rising prices at home and ensure food security. India then followed with more restrictions on its rice exports, including a 20% duty on exports of parboiled rice.
The move has triggered fears of global food inflation, hurt the livelihoods of some farmers and prompted several rice-dependent countries to seek urgent exemptions from the ban.
And so began the war for water and food. It will not be a war with only guns and classical battles. It’s about power, influence, treasons, etc.
A war were the basic human has nothing to say and will be neglected. It’s about the upper level, the corporations and the capital will dictate who has access to food and water.
It’s time to stop the infinite grow of the capital which isn’t sustainable on earth and elsewhere. This will make possible to take care of our environment and the planet to feed everyone correctly.
