Anti-Farmer Laws

The term "Anti-Farmer Laws" typically refers to legislation that farmers believe undermines their rights, livelihoods, and welfare. In India, for instance, three controversial farm laws passed in 2020 aimed to liberalize agricultural markets by allowing farmers to sell directly to buyers, bypassing government regulations. Critics argued these laws favored large corporations, reduced minimum price protections, and could lead to exploitation. Farmers protested, fearing loss of income and increased vulnerability. The laws were ultimately repealed, reflecting significant opposition and the essential role of agriculture in society.
