He criticized the industrialized agriculture system that accumulates damage to our health and the environment by mixing harmful chemicals and pesticides in our food. He warned that if we don't respect the farmers who grow our food, take care of our soil and water, and keep drilling deeper for water, we will eventually destroy ourselves as a species.
Sridhar also emphasized the need to respect those who grow our food and to connect back with nature, suggesting that we should live in harmony with nature. He pointed out that the increasing number of fertility hospitals in Tamil Nadu could be a result of our disregard for the environment and the quality of our food. He urged everyone to reflect on how we can protect our soil, water, and our environment for a better future.
