The evils which overwhelm them are therefore numerous, since they are the stake of a commercial logic against which they have no control, not to mention the hazards specific to their condition. GMOs are actually only the most visible part, from a media point of view, which in no way exempts them, since it is a question of global strategy of which they constitute only the last stone (tomb?).

Various reasons have been put forward to explain the suicides of farmers in India, including: floods, drought, indebtedness, use of genetically modified seeds, public health, reduced yields caused by the use of less pesticides due to investments. lesser. There is no consensus on the main causes, but studies show that suicide victims are motivated by more than one cause, on average three or more causes of suicide, the main reason being the inability to repay loans. According to Panagariya, an economist at the World Bank, "suicide is motivated about 25% of the time by agricultural-related reasons" and "studies consistently show increased indebtedness and increased reliance on informal sources of credit" among farmers who commit suicide.

I had the following explanation in mind: they are strangled by hallucinating usurious rates. They borrow a first time out of a bad harvest, for example to endow a girl to be married off.

It is more an untreated problem of maximum usurious rate and societal practices "pushing towards crime" (in fact, as in China, abortion if a female fetus is frequent because it is is a financial curse). GMOs are not the main cause.

So Indian farmers commit suicide at the margins, even by extension do not commit suicide.
Moreover, there have been monster demonstrations by peasants against their government on this subject, but the activists do not care, they want at all costs to impose their intuitions based on sensational journalism.... this question was popularized in the "West" by the anti-GMO movement, which takes up and disseminates the fabrications of the Indian activist Vandana Shiva ...
... the story of the introduction of GMO cotton (Bt) in India - which took place at the request of small farmers and against the government -, and which also demonstrates the total lack of connection with the issue suicides. The author shows how, by pointing out in a ritualistic and delusional way the responsibility of the great Satan Monsanto, the anti-GMOs exonerate in fact the real persons responsible for the difficulties of the peasants, namely above all the Indian bankers and the government at their service. .. https://blogs.mediapart.fr/yann-kindo/b ... de-nouveau
