The famous coke lady, is back in the papers with her proposal to introduce new ‘technology’ into agriculture. What has Pepsi Co got to do with agriculture in India? There is no ‘food’ as such in their drinks. So they must be talking about potato chips. They will bring new seed sowing techniques to India she says. I am not sure if potatoes grew out of seeds.
This means, Pepsi Co is going to buy lots of poor farmer’s lands. Or they are going to ‘lease’ farmers and their lands to grow potatoes for chips, when we could rather use all the land and the farmers to feed someone their daily meal. Its time we threw these international ‘branded’ foods out off our land.
