Bangalore, India — In the ultimate analysis, farming is about what works. And luckily for us, considering the ecological and human costs, pesticides and fertilizers do not have even that basic redeeming quality of doing what they claim to do.

They are saying goodbye to Endosulfan, DDT and all their brothers and sisters. They are going back to what works.
