I know a farmer in Mapusa whose 2 sons have graduated and continue in farming and are among the progressive farmers leading the farmers movement . I just cannot understand from where you have gathered this idea that agriculture
spells poverty. Which economy and agricultural policy are you talking about? -------------------------------------------------------------- -soter, We live on the same planet but in different worlds. Here in Canada, a teenager, working at his first job, can earn 1 lakh rupees PER MONTH. That kind of income would still leave him at poverty levels. Any farmer with an ANNUAL income of 1 lakh rupees can only be living a life of sustenance. For economic progress, one needs savings. To answer your last question, I am talking about the agriculture policy of any country or economy. All I ask is you to show me an economy that is progressing because of its great agricultural policy.
