Agrarian Crisis• Economic Crisis
– Increasing costs of cultivation and decreasing returns– Reducing public support and increasing indebtedness
• Ecological Crisis– Due to maximizing the output of a narrow range of species leading to monoculture
of crops and varieties, – Capital depletion and massive additions of external inputs (e.g. energy, water,
chemicals), and – never caring about the externalities
• Socio-political crisis– Increasing tenancy, land use shift– Huge migration
• Climate Crisis– Increased frequency of droughts, floods and cyclones– Extreme temperatures
