From The Guardian
Flooding in northern India and Pakistan has destroyed homes – and hundreds of thousands of acres of crops.
India’s farmers have already faced mounting hardship, with millions saddled with high debts, low incomes and heavy crop losses in the face of increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather conditions brought on by the climate crisis.
“I cannot imagine what is left for our future generations. Floods and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and the future does not look any better. If the farmers of Punjab – the food bowl of India – cannot even feed themselves, how will they feed others?”
~ Surinder Singh, farmer from Sarala Kalan village in Patiala
