Farmers' Movements
Farmers' movements are organized efforts by agricultural workers to advocate for their rights, improve working conditions, and secure fair prices for their products. These movements often arise in response to issues such as low wages, land rights, and government policies that negatively impact farmers. They can take various forms, including protests, strikes, and lobbying for legislative changes.
Historically, farmers' movements have played a significant role in shaping agricultural policies and practices. Notable examples include the Green Revolution in the 1960s, which aimed to increase food production, and the Farmers' Protest in India in 2020-2021, where farmers opposed new agricultural laws. These movements highlight the importance of farmers in the economy and society.
