Economist Ajit Ranade talks to host Pavan Srinath about the recent national legislations on farming and agricultural markets, and the reason for widespread farmer protests across the country.

He discusses the three amendments and explains the history and impact of Agricultural mandis (APMCs) and the Minimum Support Price (MSP). He explores how Indian agriculture can move from a government-led system to a market-based system, and what needs to be done to address farmer concerns while doing so.
