Farmers grow the food that people need every day.

The programme took place in Warangal City.
Participants urged farmers, officials, organisations and the public to work together for a healthier future.
Blessina Daniel Joseph called farmers the main pillars of society and the nation.
She warned that excessive chemical use can damage soil, the environment and human health.
