This is a funny initiative taken up by the mining giant Vedanta under its Corporate Social Responsibility programme, I find it very hilarious for the facts that, first it is an exotic species, secondly the communities have no control over its market, thirdly it will effect the local food crops, and what about the propagation of this? Do the communities have the nursery and other facilities and having known the impacts of introduction of exotics (animals and plants) how far do you recommend the introduction of an exotic species like this in ecologically sensitive areas like forests!!!! can some one tell me this. Please read the article in which this initiative was shown in a very colourful way. This is my view would like to know your perspective too.. Thank you.http://kalingatimes.com/business_news/news2/20090110_Farmers_grow_strawberry_in_Kalahandi_district.htmRead more…
