The smallholding farmers who would lose their livelihood under a Big Ag driven takeover/mechanization probably don't think so
Ideally, there should be consolidation o f land, mechanization and the laid-off farmers would find better paying jobs in cities which is what happened in China.
can only really do that with a good jobs program and social safety nets so they dont end up in poverty, which is why Modi needs to be hung before anything like this is considered
Oh my god I can't believe you would suggest that.
He needs to be hanged. I refuse to believe there is any universe in which Modi is hung
Isn't intensive agriculture incredibly ecologically damaging in part because the mechanization is dependent on fossil fuels?
Yep, here's a cool article by Jason Hickel on the tremendous potential held by small-scale, regenerative agriculture, for mitigating climate change.

Jesus, is the entirety of the Americas and Eurasia just dogshit for growing Yams? Also surprising that Europe and Turkey supplies the entire world's supply of poppy seeds, with the Czech Republic being the largest producer.
i think in the americas (and maybe europe) they grow a lot more sweet potatoes instead, which i recently found out are not the same thing as yams.
Yes. Actual yams tend to go by the name yucca in America.
I've had a lot of laughs from white people running cooking/recipe blogs, trying to create "Traditional African recipes", and using sweet potatoes in place of yams.
Tangentially relates, China grows most of the world's watermelons https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.worldatlas.com/amp/articles/top-watermelon-producing-countries-in-the-world.html
I expected Chile to. Where I used to work, all of our produce comes from Chile, basically.
does chile have a low population density though? I think thats relevant here
Output is higher than before too. Development has been very fast in 71 years.
Is this going to be yet another example of a successful communist revolution in a peasant "asiatic" economy as opposed to a developed industrial capitalist one?
Either Marx really did fail to consider or Lenin's application is just too good.
At the risk of starting a struggle session, are Trots not anti-imperialist?
Nominally, but they always seem to carry water for imperialists when it comes to AES
How does Nepal have so many farmers when its small and covered in mountains lol
Large segments of southern Nepal are made up of fertile valley plains and there's extensive terrace farming in the Sivalik Hills which stretch across the country
