Karnataka has proposed to observe 'Farmers' Day' from the next year to acknowledge the agrarian community's contribution towards development of the state.
“Farmers form the backbone of the nation. For decades, successive governments have been supporting farmers in various ways. In honour of the farming community’s contribution, the government intends to observe Farmers’ Day,” chief minister H D Kumaraswamy told a farmers’ convention here on Thursday.
The state cabinet will decide a date to observe the Farmers’ Day, he added.

There is and will continue to be pressure to neglect or reduce the remaining long
established traditional features of agricultural landscapes as competitive pressures on
agricultural markets grow, as the number of farmers declines and EU financial support for
farming is reduced. A key question is whether or not we regard the distinctive landscapes of
traditional farming and forestry as valuable things in themselves. It is important to
acknowledge that these landscapes need to be productive to retain their valued qualities, but
that they are often entirely uneconomic to manage in the ways that have generated their
distinctive features and with the lower productivity associated with the retention of traditional
practices. As farming practices change or farming is abandoned, it is important to retain the
aspects of farmed landscapes of public importance wherever we can.
