Farmers play an important role in society. They work hard under the gleaming sun and maintain the health of crops. These crops come from abroad and into the many grocery stores in Surrey, to be sold to our citizens. The farmers in India have provided sustinence for not only people in Surrey but throughout Canada. Their role in our society must be acknowledged. According to CBC, "Farmers in India have been protesting since September when new laws were enacted that opponents say will result in the government not buying grain at guaranteed prices" (CBC News 2020). We must ensure that the supply chain of crops are protected. We need to support the Indian protestors in solidarity as they provide us with the very thing that ensures our livelyhoods. It is clear that society believes that Farmers are less important than Nurses or Doctors. But it is these very farmers that feed you and your loved ones. Their important role cannot be emphasized more. Next time you see these protestors, show some support by honking your horn. With that, help them make a difference in their country so that we can continue to benifit off of their generosity.
