Without farmers the world starves. It’s a simple, plain truth that most of us ignore as we’re seduced by the dazzling lights of supermarkets and the choices of fresh markets. But globally there is a crisis in farming, and in India too we witnessed massive farmer protests in 2020. The issues are many and complex, including benefits to multinationals, often unfair farm policies, a loss of genetic diversity and dwindling water stocks. What role do consumers play in exacerbating the situation and how can they support farmers in re-taking control of their lands and lives?
