Punjab Farmers

Punjab farmers are primarily engaged in agriculture in the Indian state of Punjab, known as a major agricultural hub. They predominantly grow wheat and rice, benefiting from fertile soil and extensive irrigation. The Green Revolution in the 1960s transformed Punjab into a leading food producer through modern farming techniques and high-yield varieties of crops. However, Punjab farmers face challenges like water scarcity, pollution from excessive chemical use, and economic pressures. Recently, there have been significant protests related to agricultural policies, highlighting their struggle for rights and sustainability in farming practices.
