If Agriculture Minister Vijay Sardesai is able to implement his policy of organic farming for the whole of Goa he will go down in the history of Goa as the most eminent Agriculture Minister.
Few Ministers have done anything which have actually shaped the future of Goa for the better (for worse there is probably a catalogue of listings). He will be known as our finest Agriculture Minister but the man who could well be de facto Health Minister. If prevention is better than a cure and we are what we eat more power to the minister. Goans unfortunately continue to eat suspicious imported fish during the fishing ban in Goa. Sadly, there is not much which can to done to protect the consumer from his or her suicidal tendencies. No sign of the promised hi-tech testing lab, either. If the Agriculture Minister encourages restaurants in fields the farmers can look forward to an increased income. The eating of a lot of vegetables can become a positive habit, and exclusive organic veggie restaurants in fields can become a reality. A big boost for tourism and a brand for Goa. We, the public, need to support the minister in this great endeavor which he is undertaking and which is for the good for everyone.
