Agroecology. Land exploitation
Abstract
Shruti Ravindran writes: Indian farming is in crisis. Most of India's 250 million farmers and farm workers struggle to sustain themselves and their families. Farmers and researchers blame the lack of cheap, reliable credit and insurance, fluctuating market prices, and the absence of a social safety net for when the crop fails or when the returns are too low to cover basic subsistence needs.
