8 hours a day the women pluck pollen from the flowers with tweezers beneath the scorching sun. but why are there no men working under the models in the. minimum or expensive we only hire them for cutting and to carry loads they cost $300.00 rupees per day women work for $200.00. the daily wage of less than 2 euro's 50 is illegal even in india. in karnataka the minimum wage in agriculture is $330.00 rupees around for us today . these women only received 60 percent of the legal minimum wage. why do you work here more than could even them because there is no other work right now normally we work in the rice fields and harvest rice but at the moment there is nothing except pollination.

illegal is this work difficult. yes my eyes are so far because we are so concentrated and i have a bad back. it's hard work but we also have to earn a living. we get $102.00 euros here a kilo of tomato seeds if we want 26 year olds more so we could pay the women what they're asking for and still have a profit because. the firm is breaking the law because they don't get an additional $26.00 heroes per kilo. sells the seed in europe for an average of $60000.00 euros per. hour the company is aware of this illegal practice. we visit an indian location belonging to him close with

a hidden camera. at 1st it doesn't look good to god stop us. forces coming. at us but but but we make a documentary about the seeds in the book so you know things which country. particularly offense all. as we come from fronts like the parent company among clones it seems to open doors we learn to talk to manage it. good night the man phones his head office. ok. thank you very much because.

the team is surprised with the sudden offer of famous indian hospitality that our direct. let us know that if you're moving on from question 1st ok. we're in this is where the seas are drawings before they are exposed to. fish and. during the interview the manager at mit he knows that his contract families are paying their workers below the legal minimum wage. like the salary for one worker. to one group. of this is some farmers have no less than 2 years 50 the manager goes on to reveal

here on page 6 it says the proportion of children under 14 years of age is between 10.5 and 16.3 percent of all field workers working for lima go out. was crucial 1st of all i can assure you clearly and unequivocally there is no child labor at the lima ground sites so they sit during my god what about the subcontracted farmers who work for you in india can you assure us that there is no child labor there really that all this impressive you said you say we have reduced these from 10 or 15 percent to less than one percent all measures are being taken to achieve this which measures. contractual measures to ban child labor and hard before we continue to educate inform raise awareness and if necessary impose sanctions on to prevent child labor in lima grant as much as possible. to

hide this all for existing as much as possible. tide is child labor is a very serious issue we have a 0 tolerance level it is. 0 but the music is good and we ever be 100 percent certain in a country like india probably not but our determination is unwavering mother lucy. in companies that work for you we have made women who are paid below the minimum wage get to $100.00 rupees per day instead of $330.00 what do you say to that. so i don't agree with this assertion or that corsican of the there's something else you claim that the indian guy employees receive the legal minimum wage of $330.00 groupies pretty in reality pays its workers 300 the limit the a manager has actually confirmed this list wherever we operate employees are paid

according to the legal minimum wage and or higher memory get. i take issue with your allegation that the pharmacy. it is almost impossible to avoid hybrid plants. in 202060 percent of the world's commercial seeds were owned by a chemical giant. by a monsanto down to paul syngenta. biodiversity is not an issue for these corporations. in 2009 an expert warned the world about this development when levy a dishy 10 until 2014 was the un special rapporteur on the right to.

the plant business goes hand in hand with a pesticide business 3 of the 4 world leaders producing seeds also produce pesticides bio monsanto delta and syngenta. the farmers are always offered a complete package deal they're told that they will only get a good harvest with this past aside from that fertilizer for example some seeds are developed that are resistant to certain active substances he was at. some seeds unlike the trojan horse will agro chemicals more than $4000000.00 tons of pesticides are sprayed on the earth every year. at some point we won't eat the same thing from dakar to miami from paris to bangkok is that tomorrow's world. or thousands of years we had

a large quantity and variety of seeds. and the seeds. year after year with the harvests by farmers that were using methods. that would now be considered today as being traditional she will do that you know. rationally specialist companies have begun to perform this process of selection and reproduction which in turn has put seeds on the market that can produce large quantities of genetically modified agricultural produce. the distribution of commercial seeds and which rights are owned by a handful of major transnational companies means that agriculture will no longer be sustainable for many small farmers in developing countries and therefore we're going to see a gradual worldwide destruction of small scale. increasingly consumers and from is protesting they demand free. natural seats that are not
