India
Globalization
A shift from “food and nutrition first” to “corporate trade and profits first”, and “farmer first” to “corporation first” policies
A shift from diversity and multi-functionality of agriculture to monocultures and standardization, chemical and capital intensification of production, and deregulation of the input sector, especially seeds leading to rising costs of production.
Deregulation of markets and withdrawal of the state from effective price regulation leading to collapse in prices of farm commodities
The polarization of prices induced by globalization and trade liberalization creates a crisis for farmers as well as consumers. Farmers’ incomes fall even as the price of food increases.
-
Food
focus on producing enough to prevent famine, no room for developing other industries
-
Since food is the currency of life, reduction of food to a commodity to be traded for profits, creates hunger while undermining farmers livelihoods and farmers rights.
