new to. the farmers are furious across europe. farmers have been rented and non stop protest, and yes, the newer it was long. but what is that poor zip result is the you as decided to listen only to the very big farmers and to agribusiness on them. got to go home because they say they're struggling to make ends meet and bring those at the top for it. that's not necessarily new, but something's different this time. so emotional, i think that's new. it's fairly little things. i think that are sort of the straws that are breaking the camel's back. these little things that seem to be symptoms of bigger and more complex problems that have been brewing for decades. so what are the real issues at stake and how can we fix them?

the 1st, let's take a closer look at a prototype. farmers have been demonstrating all over the content from portugal to lobby a to romania, to from the know i'm hoping that fits this fits 5050 of them all to fulfill the whole on separate countries about people who don't think this with shows was could say, i'll meet you kenneth bus routes and normal. somebody shoes are more localized in france and germany. the dentist have focused on the reduction of diesel subsidies. p. c. how can i add these look at a shuttle entrance once extend this, put the different ones that move from one to 20000 or it will start to get smoke. that's he's a fence. you want me to switching band domestic types. i just wish maybe something hands on. farmers and greece are still reeling from floods in 2023 and are also demanding foster compensation for damage from natural disasters in hungary and poland. farmers complain about imports of cheap grain from ukraine, since russia's invasion use waved terrace on a ukrainian grain and produced as a measure of support after russia blocked major ukraine ports in the black sea. yes,

that is on us. when you sell the chavez or the book, i bet you i posted the new car, but whether it's diesel subsidies for damages or green imports, there's a common thread running through all the protests. farmers feel left alone and overlooked by their government. and if we use it a cold hard numbers, this might well be true. it's just a fact that over time agriculture tends to shrink from looked at the other sectors of the economy. stuff on some common top it out as an economist whose research analyzes agricultural policies. he's been a consultant to the world bank and several national governments. and this is true almost everywhere in the world. i can't think of any real exceptions. this is because g d, p growth becomes more and more concentrated on industrial goods and especially services. overtime european farms are dying out, decreasing by roughly a 3rd since 2005. so a point, 7000000 people worked in european agriculture in 2020 and that doesn't include seasonal workers who often labor under precarious conditions. farmers across the

globe are experiencing disproportionate amounts of mental health problems compared to the general public and europe in the us. the farming population has shown elevated suicide rates, being a pharmacist not only having the job as a family, but really are giving, giving all it to you from my a has a, is an agricultural economist who researches the social side of sustainable food systems. it's a way of life, and that's why it's so motion to farmer suicide rates in india, the world's most populous nation, are dire. in 2022, at least 30 farmers took their own lives every day. and we can look again to their shrinking roles. agriculture here the, the test thing significant, you know, reduce the one leader on the importing 15 percent of the, of the, the country versus jobs and agricultural economists to india as institute for economic growth. but 50 buttons, people of direct during derek and dependent on it. and this creates a situation the best interest of the purchasers gathering and the bread basket,

northern instead of punjab, once the government to guarantee a minimum price for all of their crops. here i am the gifts, the vision, the images for almost or adopt technology like in the lobby and lovers. even if i used to practice in productivity, just because i'm in frank structure like so, whether it's india or europe from where you're struggling or losing relevance in our economic system. and it shows the ways in which the system is stacked against on the well across the value chain is not distributed enough. fairly man, not even even off is the political secretary of a federation. the advocates for european farmers and farm workers 60 day notice and the thoughts manufacturers a good thing like the biggest share of the volume which is produced in the i'll give you 4 to 6 top and bottom of some sort of on what goods which are like in the bottom of the book divided with chain drain,

supermarket chains have massive negotiating power over prices. european commission survey found that 96 percent of suppliers and you food chain reported that they experienced at least one form of unfair trade practice. the a student, a list of going to these are not biased with me to moving on event on the countries i'm getting. this is long as you could send him on a new often price of trade deals often down to their plight. international agreements like the propose you marcus, sergio with increased agricultural in parts from lot merican countries, farmers, complainants cheaper and produce that far lower standards type of thing. when you have the, the don't have the most deputy. so before we continue or limited with just small, small show new, please go to the neighbors or something. so federal uh they are going to see be sure it is either vs request club. yeah. local or the one for 2 sucks for these up like when they get a full copy the uh, the contract even offs of the agricultural sector often takes a backseat and negotiations, leaving social and environmental factors unaddressed. the i could go to the food

sector is often used as a bargaining chip to create some 33 offs in other sectors. more than those 31 more luxury goods in europe. there's a pretty easy target for all that pent up in newer that you commission and brussels . that's because the commission controls the other huge thing. farmers present the comment arbor, cultural policy, or c, p for short launched in 1962. it's the overarching framework that was initially founded to deal with posts for food scarcity, almost 3 quarters of the c a p budget goes to direct payments for farmers sizes. the only thing that matters their payments are calculated based solely on how big of the farm is the link itself, subsidies to the phone. the land is one of the biggest problems because it gives the favor to the ways of production. definitely want to change. this means the policy of rewards industrial farms which tend to be mon, or cultural corporations. for example,

one of your biggest airable funds is arbor cost, romanian, serial producer, u e. investors bought it for a report of the between 20300000000 euros. but the funds still gets over 10000000 annually, and e u subsidies for many exports a large majority of its green, meaning the yield from these massive farms is not benefiting the local economy. most european funds are small, however, 2 thirds of less than 5 hector's and almost all of those are family farms. with an aging population you're gonna have to have on your phone guns. here's how i'm able to help them job space of enough out of so i'm good. that's good. he's influence us . as of all that weren't complex enough already, under climate goals, europe has lost the plans to become the 1st climate neutral con, by 2050. agriculture is responsible for more than 10 percent of total e u. greenhouse gas emissions. a relative to the size or the overall economic importance of the sector, it produces disproportionately a large share of greenhouse gases. so what are the european commission to make

a green deal along with the firm to ford strategy within a this policy tries to make fruit systems more sustainable. we can't afford kind of to think about the ext uh, issues like environmental protects them like bio diversity. like ethical issues, and this is where we start running into tensions. farmers of revolted against greendale policies, like phasing of diesel subsidies, reducing fertilizer in pesticide use, and setting aside land for bio diversity. they say the rules don't compensate them for the income loss, and the farmers are taken to bigger share of the responsibility. so it was there something about all of this the just isn't working a lot. but the problem with the policy is that it is a bit gets a frantic. um, if it's meant to be income support, then you think, you know, we should be targeting smaller firms with low income, more and not the big farms. the question is whether it's really designed to be

income support in the 1st place because of the purpose of the policy is for environmental welfare. well then, big firm should be getting more payments because a big farm is affecting in the environment on a much larger number of factors. so the main problem, at least from my perspective as, as a policy analysis, is that, that the policy is not certainly clear what the main priority is. you're trying to pursue to different goals with one policy and with one tool. and that's not really effective. so far, the european commission has back pedals on some of its policies because of the protests for instruct its fuel subsidy cost and the scrap the plan to reduce pesticides. as for ukraine, the european commission will extend its transport to you until 2025, but other than measure to prevent too many you training and products being sold in the states. but all of this might just be popping painkillers for long term solutions. a bigger shift in policy would be needed to help farmers and address

climate change. one solution could be to focus the policies around the environmental aspects of a feed system, not subsidies. income support is in the european union, a national policy priority. the social policies or national priorities that shouldn't be coming from brussels. it would then be up to the individual members states to support their farmers. they would have more flexibility in shaping their subsidies, which could support smaller farms and create incentives and financial support for more ecological practices. changing the food system, of course, implicates me. you, the consumer breakdown the, the environmental costs simply isn't priced enough into our purchases. raising those prices would be necessary and in turn, change or consumption habits. it's not going to affect me with my professor salary, but it's going to affect, you know, a single mother with kids to feed and who's got a lower salaries and policy makers are going to have to find ways of buffering that and distributing the load. but the load has to increase don't expect anything to

happen and brussels before you're applied elections in june 2024 though. in the meantime, some worry that the farmers move in has already been co opted by writing parties, taking political again. and getting back to that anger, smaller funds and their workers also need a bigger seat at the table. some of the best ones are to say, they're not to say not to the best you visual key to you to people. so this will the visual case also, you know, if you will, you can, this puts, it meant by succeeds and that's true. we have probably minutes goes into the side of presented actors or model is um i'd be interested in keeping mobile is that that the school the by differential ones for very much shaping quote. the political agenda for farmers in india, price controls look necessary given that roughly 50 percent of the country's workforce is in agriculture, in the long run. differently, develop a few more stuff from government. zooming out, maybe

a healthy dose of reality is needed and thinking about climate change and the struggles of agriculture. agriculture is a sector that's probably never going to be completely climate neutral. that's the, you know, but the nature of things that said, i'm, we're talking about food, which is a necessity. there's other sectors, the economy that produce things that are perhaps quite as necessary. at the end of the day, farmers are the ones providing our food, their anger's understandable. they're being squeezed and a huge system that stockpiles well for the biggest players. and they're facing more more rules without any fundamental change of that system. or the firm was purchasing were us. and how do you think about for insecurity? tell us and the comments below and don't forget to hit like and subscribe to next time the or the
