Right at this moment, world hunger is on my mind.
Every day, farmers around the world are either getting poorer, or the small cultivators are being ousted out from their fields.
In India, several tribal communities who cultivate essential crops and herbs are being brurtally pushed out so that the aluminuium, iron ore, and coal can be open-mined from under their lands, destroying forests, underground water systems and fertile fields forever.
In other places, mineral water plants are sucking up the ground water and leaving surrounding villages with drought stricken fields.
Food crops are being replaced by cash crops, and even edible oil is being replaced by the jethropa so that 'bio-fuels' can be made so that automobiles have an 'alternative fuel'.
If we don't wake up and smell the scorching fields and look at the shrinking crops, tomorrow, we're going to have a famine on our hands that will change the face of this earth.
