Peace Corps Waging A Vital Battle In India To Stave Off Starvation
In New Delhi a Pune poultry grower loses 21 ducks to starvation and farmers lose crops to birds and pests. American Peace Corps volunteers Sam Boone, Dave Wilson, and Charles Schad work with villagers to grow, conserve, and improve nutrition. The program, the largest in the world, plans to expand to 3,000 volunteers, addressing food production, storage, and distribution, with population planning and dietary shifts as key elements. Volunteers aim to spread modern agricultural practices, curb pests, and promote diverse diets while navigating literacy barriers and local resistance.
