Basis for reformsThere are quite a few major reasons for undertaking the reforms in agriculture (https://bit.ly/3nYjqVN). This is turning farmers to look at the government for remunerative prices through MSP for most agricultural products. On contract farmingThe experiences of contract farming which is already going on in various pockets in India show the critics and protesting farmers are mixing contract farming with corporate farming. It prohibits the farming agreement to include the transfer, sale, lease, mortgage of the land or premises of the farmer. The policy reforms undertaken by the central government through these Acts are in keeping with the changing times and requirements of farmers and farming.
