Modern agriculture is facing lot of limitations. Without addressing these we cannot reach to a sustainable agriculture. We have to realize minimum that the real problem is not modern agriculture but it is with the application. We have to avoid the habit of filling the streams, lakes demolishing the hillsetc. Almost all the rivers are in a dying state due to sand dredging .forests are not protected. Without preventing these illegal acts projecting the campaign against the fertilizers and pesticides are not with a clear intention. We have to promote Good agriculture practices. Ignoring modern agriculture is not the right policy to avoid the application issues. Friends of Scientifica, October 2016
