How, over the past 40 years, U.S food supply chain has become concentrated in hands of a few large multinationals, which serve as middlemen in everything from seed genetics to hog processing to supermarkets. Do we want such a business model in India; think hard, do we ?

One key rule of farming is patience.
If you are not patient enough don't worry you can still be in the agric business.
Yes, I said so because along the value chain there are many ways of making money but one key opportunity for those who want to venture is agro marketing.

There are many agricultural products people around you consume; you could start being a distributor.
In fact, most times I advise anyone who wants to go into farming or production to start off marketing.

That way you begin to learn some basics so when you go into your own, you would have identified the need of the customers in your niche.
For example, if you want to start a layers farm, sell eggs!

Most of the urban area in #Pompeii consisted in private households. Therefore, the city provides an excellent vantage point to learn more about Roman housing and its evolution over time.
The upper classes mainly lived in #domus, large houses sometimes covering an area of about 3,000 sq. m. The domus were usually based on the same main structure. The front door led into the #atrium, a large central hall open at the roof.
Around the atrium the other rooms of the house were located: the bedrooms (#cubicula), the servants’ quarters, the dining rooms (#triclinia) and living rooms.

🔎 But data measuring the share of food produced, processed & sold by women remains inherently complex & varies across countries. In fact, “quantifying the share of food produced by women involves making many arbitrary assumptions about gender roles in the production process.” /3

IPES-Food co-chair Olivier De Schutter spoke with the EU's Horizon Magazine on the paradox of a #food system that continues to marginalise many food producers.
"We need to give them back their voices" - @DeSchutterO
"We need to give them back their voices" - @DeSchutterO
"In the last 40, 50 years, we’ve been making choices in terms of agricultural and research and development policies that have sought to improve the efficiency of @FoodSystems at the expense of small-scale farms and local #foodsystems."
"By prioritising economies of scale, large-scale #farms and thus the ability to mechanise, long supply chains, and encouraging the division of labour between regions and countries, we have marginalised many actors in the food system." - @DeSchutterO.

@nsitharaman @_YogendraYadav @aviksahaindia @sayantanbera @seemay @Ghair_Kanooni @Subytweets @sritara @srinivasanravi @DrSarvapriya @RURALINDIA Govt allocates 9.3% of the budget to #Agri, allied,irrigation & #rural development, which was 9.8% last year. Factoring Inflation, Real Increase in allocation is actually negative.
Is this enough ?
Will this increase #farm income, prop up #rural demand ?
