From 1,10,000 varieties of rice to only 6,000 now

Debal Deb, a rice conservationist, is working to prepare a seed bank of 700 varieties of traditional rice

“India had nearly 1,10,000 varieties of rice till 1970 and this diversity has been lost to posterity as a result of the green revolution with its emphasis on mono culture and hybrid crops. Now, only 6,000 species or varieties of rice survive. The destruction of the rice diversity of the country is a contribution of the green revolution,” Dr. Deb said. [...] Among the other rare collection of rice varieties, Dr. Deb's demonstration farm has the double grain rice called Jugal, which was developed in West Bengal five centuries ago. Sateer is a three-grain rice which has become extinct. Incidentally, Dr. Deb is the only person in the country to have a repository of this rare variety of rice. “After the green revolution, a generation of farmers in India were injected with the belief that traditional farming methods were unscientific or anti-progress and they came to believe in the efficacy of high-cost and high-end scientific research. But the traditional varieties of rice were rich in iron and protein content, vitamin B, and had medicinal value,” Dr. Deb said.
