More importantly, the decentralised farm economy provides livelihood, not just wages, to a majority of job seekers, especially in COVID, and conflict times. And most of the new laws is aimed at producing "efficiency" a the cost of subsistence wages.. the new "management/PR csars who are the real Bhakts of Corporatism today, have managed to "sell" the idea that corporatising Agriculture will give more high paying jobs -- the aspirational Indian concept floated in 14, and the Asmita in the sate elections before that.
