Itu 2012 Global Farmer Roundtable marked the seventh meeting of what has grown to be an exciting and dynamic annual event. This year fifteen farmers from thirteen nations met to discuss a number of issues from a variety of viewpoints on October 15 dan 16 di Des Moines, Iowa. The moderator was Dr. Nicholas Kalaitzandonakes from the University of Missouri.
The Global Farmer Roundtable was held again during the week of The World Food Prize Symposium (Oktober 17-19) which allowed the farmers attending the Roundtable to also take part in the Borlaug Dialogue, Laureate Award Ceremony, and other side events held during the week. Several of the farmers were also invited to participate on panels in the Symposium or side events during the week.
Rajesh Kumar from India received the 2012 Kleckner Dagang & Teknologi Kemajuan Penghargaan Selasa, Oktober 16 at a Global Farmer Awards Dinner hosted by Truth About Trade & Teknologi dan CropLife International.
Kumar farms fifty-five acres in southern India, menggunakan irigasi untuk tumbuh jagung, tomat, terung (terong) and other vegetables. In addition to the sweet corn processing plant, ia menjual produk segar secara langsung ke konsumen melalui kios di beberapa lokasi.
He believes that agriculture can be revived and thrive in India, tapi bioteknologi harus dianut oleh petani dan petani harus mengatur dan permintaan bahwa pemerintah memungkinkan mereka hak-hak mereka untuk menggunakan alat yang penting ini.
“India has a desperate need for agricultural biotechnology. It is for our overall self-development that tools like biotechnology must be available so farmers can produce enough food for our people. We must participate in the Gene Revolution.”
