Green Hub Fellows Sunil Kumawat and Hari Kumar Kunjam will present a screening and discussion of their film Beej Bank_Paramparagat Ann, Kisano Ke Sang (Seed Bank_Indigenous Seeds with Farmer Collectives). The film explores the impact of the Green Revolution on traditional farming practices, particularly the widespread adoption of chemical fertilizers and hybrid seeds, which led to the gradual loss of indigenous seed varieties. In response to this issue, the Gram Sudhar Samiti (GSS) initiated a unique project in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh to promote seed sovereignty and reduce farmers' dependency on market-bought seeds.
