Millions of farmers in India are protesting three agricultural reform bills that were passed in September without their consultation, which they claim threatens their livelihood.
The implications of the protests reach beyond India and relate to global issues of land inequality: an estimated 70% percent of all farmland around the world is controlled by only 1% of farms and most Indian farmers only own two to three acres of land.
In countries like the United States, small farmers have long suffered from government policies of deregulating and privatizing the agricultural sector, especially during the pandemic when most aid went to large farms.
