I get the noose like everybody else. Yes, I come from India, but have lived in PA for a long time now. So I get news from back home just like everybody else. internet, newspapers etc. I am vegetarian, through no effort on my part, just grew up that way, so I have a lot of respect for those that choose to be vegan, as changing food habits is probably harder than switching parties, religion etc. The Naya Krishi movement literally means new agriculture, I first read about it in Mother Jones, then google did the rest. It is from Bangladesh, so I would bet 99% Muslim area of the world. It is about small farmers taking their future into their own hands after bad experiences with pesticides. It goes back to organic methods of farming, and intercropping in a very fertile part of the world. Only trouble with getting information from environmental/developmental type of websites is that you do not know if the news is significant or not. If you read from the newfarm.org website (american), you might conclude that America might go all organic pretty soon, when they are still a small minority and America still grows crops in state sized mono cultures.
