On the Significance of Plant Intelligence for Sound Cultivation 14 5

Abstract

The contemporary agrarian crisis has three significant aspects. First, mainstream 
agrarian knowledge systems are created by manipulating plant living materials, 
depriving them of their resilience and immunity.  Second, it increases the distance 
between the consumers and the producers of agricultural goods. Third, it gives low 
priority to the large population of marginal cultivators, who have to depend on 
government programmes and capital-rich farmers, especially when they run into crisis 
on account of crop failure and indebtedness.
