The farmers unions have called for a boycott of all products of Adani and Reliance, the two corporates closest to the Modi-Shah regime and which stand to benefit the most from the opening up of the farm sector to agribusiness, which will not only destroy farmers’ livelihoods but affect food security for everyone. The new laws have been drafted to facilitate ease of doing business for these corporations, eliminating safeguards for both farmers and consumers.
This post is simply a quick, not comprehensive, list of products we could all boycott (compiled with help from Anindita Bose and Rohit).
And just a reminder – the rapacious Adani corporation is wreaking havoc on Australia’s ecology too, and there is a huge people’s campaign there against Adani – #StopAdani .

The farmer leaders haven’t highlighted or clearly explained how the new farm laws affect “food security for everyone.”
May i request Prof Nivedita Menon to elaborate on this point — new farm laws & food security — in her next piece.

The farmer always loses, whether it’s tescos, Adani, govt or the notorious middle men. If everything goes well, you can be sure the weather will smash their crops.
You’ve got to be a mad man to farm and I am proud to be one.
