Devinder Sharma, world-renowned food policy expert, spends a lot of time thinking and writing about how agriculture impacts climate change and how genetically modified foods impact everyone. He spoke to us about the ways the West and developing nations can learn from the example of India's "Green Revolution" in farming and the problems that have sprung up in its wake. Climate action should go hand in hand with food policy. Thanks to Greenpeace Delhi for the video in this segment.
