SOCIAL ISSUE

The social issue I am concerned is about the livelihood of farmers. As we all know, farmers are the backbone of the nation, they aren't treated well. They feed us. But, often their crops are wasted or not getting paid well. Many of their crops are left out, as they are not able to find potential customers. The middle man doesn't pay them the amount they deserve too. This is the social issue I am concerned about.


PROPOSED SOLUTION

The answer is simple. Try to reach the products of farmers directly to the end users or customers. But, the task behind this is heavy and need a comprehensive collaboration and coordination to attain this.


CONCERNS

Each and everyday we hear some or other news about the plight of farmers. Not only that. My father as well as some of my family members are into farming. I have seen their situation. Even though the crops are good we aren't able to find potential customers and the crops are wasted. This eventually leads to a loss. My uncle is a farmer. In the past, he has cultivated many crops. But, now he is only into dairy farming and a lot of his area in left without cultivation because of the fear of loss.
