Agricultural production in these two countries relies heavily on cheap migrant labor from the developing world. This will provide an example of what a more aggressive push towards neoliberal agenda in agriculture can mean to the sections of small producers and farm workers. However, to fully grasp the impact of greater liberalization of Indian agriculture, we must first begin with an assessment of the present condition of farm workers, the most marginalized sections of the Indian countryside"-- Introduction.
