india's farmers go organic

In case you missed this amazing story, it seems that 300,000 farmers in India are bucking the fossil fuel/artificial fertilizer trend of the past 40 years that both degraded the soil and put them into debt to companies such as Monsanto, and returning to the "old fashioned" way of organic farming. India's leaders are calling for scientists to do a rigorous study of the best practices for various regions so that soil, harvest yield and standard of living all continue to rise. A fascinating development we should all keep our eyes on. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104708731
