The reality of changing weather pattern is staring coffee growers in the face. They have not been credited duly for presrving tranquality of the local ecosystem. <br />Having visited plantations myself, I can speak about the disconnect that exists between the grower on the plantation and the consumer in cities. The oblivious consumer does not realise that climate change is as close as his cup of coffee.<br />But on a positive note, the awareness campgins that you started, and were actively a part of, have gone a long way in spreading the word around. <br /><br />Best,<br />Anshu OgraAnshuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622791472350778188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710495489060267237.post-64591922177687435872012-04-01T21:09:50.468-07:002012-04-01T21:09:50.468-07:00Yet again, you score the bulls-eye Viva- a superb ...Yet again, you score the bulls-eye Viva- a superb capture of the unpredictability and destruction caused by the climatic variance on the Coffee Farmer of the Western ghats.Revathi did arrive, at last, as per the star prediction- but played hide and seek with fury and flamboyance.There is something to be said about the resilence of these farmers.They are battered and bruised year after year but they come back fighting with hope and optimism-they nurture and nourish the Ghats through the practice of shade coffee but they cannot go on like this for ever.The economics of Coffee growing is set against the grower and now the climate is also raining havoc-over the last 10 years.The friend, saviour and the protector of the lungs of the south India also needs support.They cannot go-on like this but for what they have done to save the ecology, I kneel down and thank them.<br /><br />Keep writing these reflections Viva-with vividness, vitality and vogour that you show without loosing your objectivity.pushpanflowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765414988212524910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710495489060267237.post-21046817113709772412012-04-01T10:03:04.814-07:002012-04-01T10:03:04.814-07:00Dear Viva,
