there to protest we never raised her voice against the government the land that belonged to our ancestors we even last that they were asked why we didn't fight for our rights that is why we are here. so what is next for the farmers protest in india if you have perspective we would love to hear from you you know what to do if you are on the cheap is jumping to the commit section and be part of today's show and you can also ask the questions too i guess you have an excellent line up we have elizabeth we have merged in the and we also have the guest hello welcome to the street nice to have you it is let's tell everybody who you are why you are important to this discussion. hello femi while i and those are the. al-jazeera as and their correspondent and i've been covering these protests since they began 2 months ago and. much of the welcome to the stream tell everybody here. but it's a lot of. time to institute

a refocus on winston water sure a little better and i'm also i'm on climate change and working on. it to have a headache welcome to the street why you put into this conversation tell our audience here you are what you. my name is cooter good dear i'm the convenor of national alliance for sustainability who mystic agriculture i've been far. from the beginning. i wanted you 2 things one is elizabeth i want you to catch up and help out when it's catch up with what has happened since the protests started in terms of government action and defeating you've been in talks negotiations and i want to hear what the thoughtless feel that they have the chief so far so please you start 1st what is the government done when they realise the

farmers were upset what if they don't. well the government has done quite a lot for me i mean they started by trying to stop these farmers from entering delhi to begin with they use tear gas and water cannon when they realise farmers are determined to come to the capital they said that you can come but you have to protest as a desert designated site that wasn't good enough for farmers and they occupied 3 major highways they've essentially allowed us to do that and after about 6 or 7 weeks of the largest protest that we've seen since promised in that in that order was 1st elected 6 years ago. the government has now said that it's willing to suspend the implementation of things what was for 2 years so that's latest offer that follows the supreme court's suspending the implementation of the laws while it set up a committee to look into them so the government it looks like you know it's made.

exceptions or it's made allowances for the farmers bunch of course nothing they've done is good enough for farmers for that it really didn't help that the supreme court's committee was made up of 4 people who have all spoken out in favor of the kinds of changes that the government is suggesting and that is why the protests are still very much continuing. i've been looking at some headlines on my laptop here this one is from the times farmers rejects proposals put yours on hold for 1.5 years is that this is just updated just a little bit longer than that could see they you have been negotiating table this is quite some feat farmers have done it they've pushed back a lot what else do you want. they've only got a suspension awful from so far and they're asking for.

the laws and that is something that the government does not do is not ready to give in because they believe that the prime minister to be. they want him to be seen as someone who is decisive they want to be seen as. a government which is brewery farms and so on. and all in all of this moment why the markets still get 40 points from the government has seen many other things happen there's a huge debate that the protest has churned up in india democracy it's about the farms and brits deduction should the farm speech about the gradient crisis in india and importantly. have learned to work with each other flom

organizations which have been working as small groups all over the country they have joined hands and we're talking about it least $400.00 organizations coming together listening to work with each other and protesting together that it's a. huge positive outcome and a horse promise for the future as flat as. 8 seconds. to feel you make an important point and it's something probably. just a little bit. just a true test that this is tending to amusement this is what he told us. how the movement has successfully democratic freedoms going are going to. mark modern childred every lawmaker. movement is proceeding right the only

bottom gun ban on women which no reason question and it could be unfortunate if the government of the day are almost certain to use force or wellington in the form of to go this more peaceful boston demanding the struggle for rights by the people yes we have quite a movement going on and he commits such as well murder i'm going to put the question to you is this is for ms alley thanks nice for staying up late why do you think the ruling indian government want to fix something that isn't broken. i think that's a fan's needs is a banger. ok that's a fantastic question. about i'm just going to pull more and you know what they are all about are almost the. only one and.

or in all while they. are only 6 percent. and the long march if i'm going to read or write or. so if that's all i'm broken i don't know what is the so many farmers out killing them so . if that's not broken i don't know what is the one thing is many of these crops started off as a linear legacy and then we've continued on with them sort of. joining going to. i don't want to see the water and out of the water and out of job and. a lot of those crops you know what job and have not bought something get 5600 millimeters of rain and rice it's a crop that does i think on their appearance which is 800 millimeters of rain and then people talk to. the farmers i call the also say one of the reasons they

concept. procurements and the price i'd like to is because this is the market you know so i would disagree that the system us know what broken the system is broken and i think we need to do a lot all small farms and i want to see neighborhoods and there are questions but a lot of women let's leave you know. yeah i mean he's not he's saying i'm in this group yeah right push back to you it doesn't matter i never hear from you let me put this one to you why most of the film is from punjab. and not. of india. so the reason why my son. on job and hardy and it is because most of the farmers and punjab and i do yana do actually get a minimum support price for their project mr mishra speaking about that $6.00 this and saying that only 6 percent of the country's finest get that minimum support

price. wallace. there is a lot of debate about that that that 6 percent i think the doctors from about 2012 there needs to be more recent and better analysis. basically it's because they are the farmers that are going to be impacted a lot by the laws they're also very very organized and so they've been able to come to jennie's for what is. essentially stand up for themselves. is i'm glad you. are. calling for a protest was given to the states as own daily when the talked about you know walking into daily to speak to the central government of india. it was a call given to farmers from. the british and i just. thought

all of the farmers in the country this is this was in october that was said. as we call it in india i mean let's go to delhi now but all of the states the call was about protesting locally. but just you do find that the punjabi farmers are more organized than others. and also people who have access to. the nitty lake tractor trolleys and they converted into they put it he homes as this quarter. is yet i would have been in place to hear and this is to me that much. about. how effective is famine in india right now maybe there should be some reforms have a look here. at an article that she wrote in december from axa necessary for green revolution 2.0 interest i don't see in consequence incentives and communication are

key so what the government did murder was not ok. and are we just looking at pushing back progress in india and india really does need to look at how is it doing its agriculture right now. again i'm going to keep in mind i meant change and what i have i think now look both things right are we growing the appropriate crops and when you talk. to us. and i think the musician or a look at you for the farmers of a job and how they are not they're led the charge on into evolution one point which made us all right i think all of. that after i think that it's not all the way it's about that but it seemed to point to as to being in

a warming climate then different from one point that you need different crops you need different jolt of things to participate and the problem is i think it will come because of the said that it could i think one child has permission to be on top is getting all the things that what opera brought up in getting that interest and when you thought it won't have the financial badly thought out that infrastructure which is why they need 5 if the patient i mean into the mid that i would part of a patient that's pretty small problem but i heard. that you know what we wanted to kind of participation and you know i think some of the you can actually be rid of the need to bring the kind of those you want to get there and just you know i know you didn't ask me about the protests but i think the board and someone else will make sure you ringback can demonstrate say one thing that i so called political communication we can get those aleutian where. more progress.

but you know i mean. yeah listen i'm not seeing how let's get to that solution right now it stop. yeah i just wanted to say that you know femi there's very few people that will say that india. is perfect most people say that it needs reforms but those who are out protesting protesting those hundreds of thousands of people say that you can't fix one broken system but the new set of laws which are broken in themselves because they give too much power to private corporations which were not work in the interests of more than marginal farmers most most of india's more and more and marginal farmers. i would have breeding now at ship power who talks about the green the solution in. right back to you and i should say in the 1960 s. india had a green revolution so this is why now the reform of agriculture right now is being

called the refresh illusion 2 point buy some people now that your power is saying hold on a minute it's happened to listen to what she had to share with us earlier in the story. there are lots of misconceptions i don't read evolution so it was not an entirely successful operation and the intensive one of those are practices that are to do their herd and they are especially detrimental for smaller margin farmers who are once again i heard of these farm laws so these practices the idea of going to sponsor the farmers who saves land lucian and more to be russian so what are the farmers in india do we need. from these practices do not mean the factory boettcher do not need devolution. or any munition do seem to have markets. to go ahead you've been sitting at the goshen tables you want to be revolution $2.00. but again their emotion as it. has

a negative connotation for most of us. and you know it's something that ended up destroying those pockets of india. as those hub so food security as when as those ignore the large tracts of grain fed farming in india so they would is maybe a small onset of places where everything was all ecosystem was built on focusing on just about 2 grains and beat and india's food security is. a policy conceptualisation listed on these. 2 grains and supply from these pockets to the rest of the country and i must say that followed has been to blame for the entire country and

that is where we don't need a 2nd greens evolution as it's called we didn't need to he conceptualize wards the future of india as agriculture looks like we don't need the same better dame replicate it a 2nd time and. unfortunately we haven't large program going on it's actually does that it's called bring in green devolution to east india a lot of public investment is going into water intensive farming in eastern india so we need to think about farms in a different. need not mean just you know in a macroeconomic sense. you know liberalization facilitation of private business operations and so on for most things this government in power who are usually talks about a unique. indian tragic tree. sure the word when it comes to any farms they need to

farms from unlikelihood split speak to the need. they need to unwind mental sustainability and the important things we need social justice. i just want to just jump jump across to murder murder you look totally forgot we can fix it was talking you had your head in your hand and you do not i can't can you i don't put words into your into your body language can articulate what your face was now i know what's going on and yet it's not i think that. that's exactly what i said which is you know blamed if you should i don't want to be in evolution 1.2. and that's the irony that agreeing that you know what you should go and live it takes the stand. you know fire the protests out about

continuing to grow you know no no no it's not no nor not with the less already there asking for prayers for you to go in and we are. so that you know i mean here with me i meet our monk as a monster and it came to me just a quick price of what from. it gives you know if you can get out of the doing it please but again. i mean which a lady said don't let anything you say but let's not be heard and i hear i hear the disagreement i'm going to hear it i know to you both major points and now i'm going to move on i want to share with you something here it's an image that. let's put on her instagram account and she was in put in charge she was talking to protest and the thing that jumped out at me were these were all women there is an alarm about gender or women fans women farmers also protesting that sometimes gets over

a lot look this is that to see when minding us that there are women protesting and what they also have to lose is have a look at. it decrease in farming is likely do not lead to raising you did and debt is a primary cause of farce to say that in india now we're belonging to suicide victims families are already going really well and we were duped by our distance that tomorrow morning and do the view good ideas of meaning in who it is environment are ordinary acknowledged as farmers in spite of their way going to. morrow or in a few leveraging our society when farming in the drawer and household resources are insufficient then the needs of men will move toward the needs of the. let's go ahead yeah yeah i mean for me the laws don't address the end of quality in farming at all women make up around 50 percent of the nias agricultural force they

are only on 12 percent of the land they work on they're not recognized as farmers which means that they're not entitled to many government provisions to credit. the credit that people get when they are hummers and again these laws don't address any of those massive and balances. when i'm following the farmer's protests and keeping up with all of the debate what comes out seems to me that the worst case noir the pharma so expect in the worst case scenario and then i saw a tweet from you which is really interesting the government of india has already lost game set and match has tanked from is true tess that sounds very optimistic always somewhere in the meadow do you feel you've done. well in many of their is. like i said the fact that the debate is squarely

on the farming crisis. is something that was in long. and to me it's so good it seems that the farmers protests is making headline news every morning and primetime debates on india's mainstream television channels are about ok what should be done you know which direction for the future so that to me is a good thing and the fact that the government is stepping down incrementally after having ignored the protests for once so all of these to me reading that if positive outcomes. and i think we are not too far away from actually getting the word demonstrative it. leaves i guess i'm going to ask you just very briefly in a sentence to reply to judge it seeing his own right now when we're farmers not

consulted before implementing the law i mean surely they they would. not have this protest if they'd actually consulted the farmers i want an instant reaction from leeds much of the use not. i think the bow consultations are going to be. and you know. i mean we're all almost as much you know pushing or you know pushing back much of the same there were consultations goofy things in response to judging well they were absolutely no consultations when it came to this set to flaws that. they will consume titian's. the farms and exactly the details of it and that was lift to the state governments in india's fridge and set up the flag did the government. brought in these acts that is the unacceptable

part and i wouldn't agree that they were consultation lists. i mean i would just say that this is not a government that is known for doing enough consultations with stakeholders before at passmores and that's something that we've seen a lot over the last 6 years and this is an theme that i would say. thank you gas for keeping us up to date with the psalmist process and pushing us almost the discussions you cheaper as your remarkable at the time of this girl counts it is the middle of the night. and i can tell that from his protests he's very d. and e. is just staying up late and going to do so will add gas gasoline purring and have a look here on my laptop on twitter you can fill a few feet also on twitter and you could use a full. on twitter nichols at a.j.
