GFN किसान का प्रभाव

वी. रविचंद्रन, भारत से वैश्विक किसान नेटवर्क का एक सदस्य, एक GFN बोर्ड के सदस्य, और प्राप्तकर्ता 2013 GFN Kleckner Award exemplifies what it means to amplify our farmer voices. He takes every opportunity to speak up, to inform, to weigh in, and to give examples of why farmers need access to tools, प्रौद्योगिकी, और व्यापार – why innovation is important to sustainability, why we need to push against the status quo.

Recently he started counting this up. “…in the last few months, I have attended about 60 such virtual meetings while enjoying the comforts of my village and attending to my routine farm activities. सीख रहा हूँ, knowledge sharing and sharing our experience haven’t been deterred by our geographical separation.”

On September 23rd, उदाहरण के लिए, Ravi was an invited speaker in The African Biennial Bio-Sciences Communication Symposium which included regulators, वैज्ञानिकों, policymakers, किसानों, and other stakeholders – के बारे में 1,500 people in all, from Ethiopia, केन्या, मलावी, नाइजीरिया, घाना, युगांडा, और अधिक.
