Why India farmers are protesting again

Farmers march on Delhi over the prices they get for food production, ahead of elections

Our food supply chains are under pressure as thousands of farmers are marching to the Indian capital, Delhi, to protest over how much they get paid for the food they produce, with elections coming later this year. Sam Fenwick examines what started this movement as farmers in Europe are also raising their voices.
