ದಿ 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 ಮತà³à²¤à³ 16 ರಲà³à²²à²¿ ಡೆಮೋಯಿನà³, ಅಯೋವಾ. 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 (ಅಕà³à²Ÿà³†à³‚ೕಬರೠ17-19) 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 Trade & Technology Advancement Award on Tuesday, ಅಕà³à²Ÿà³†à³‚ೕಬರೠ16 at a Global Farmer Awards Dinner hosted by Truth About Trade & Technology and CropLife International.
Kumar farms fifty-five acres in southern India, using irrigation to grow sweetcorn, ಟೊಮà³à²¯à²¾à²Ÿà³†à³‚, brinjal (eggplant) and other vegetables. In addition to the sweet corn processing plant, he sells fresh produce directly to consumers through kiosks at several locations.
He believes that agriculture can be revived and thrive in India, but biotechnology must be embraced by farmers and the farmers must organize and demand that the government allow them their rights to use this important tool.
“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.”
