Background
Main article: 2020 Indian agriculture acts
The Agriculture Census in India, last held in 2014, identified that farmers in India have small land holdings, one of the reasons they are not able to meet their needs. Two-thirds of the land holdings in the country are less than one hectare. [ 57][58]Other related issues include farmer suicides and the state of the economy in India. India reported a total 296,438 Indian farmers suicidesbetween 1995 and 2015. [ 59][60]In 2019, 10,281 people who work in the farming sector committed suicide.[61] The slower growth of Punjab's economy, particularly its agricultural sector, is believed to have helped fuel the protest.

Second green revolution

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during an interview in 2004, said,[65]
"We need a second green revolution, making use of modern advances [...] For that we need to revitalize India's research agricultural system, India's extension system, India's credit system. The more we commercialize our agriculture, the more our farmers need access to commercial inputs and that was a modernization of our agriculture credit system.
