He added the union government was imposing these farm laws on farmers by advertising them as it is beneficial for their growth.

TIRUCHY: The three farm refom laws enacted by the Union government were not just against farmers’ welfare, but also posed a challenge to food security,  noted agricultural economist Venkatesh Athreya has said.

Taking part in an online event oganised by the Tamil Nadu Science Forum's Tiruchy unit on Sunday, Venkatesh Athreya said that the existing system, even though not perfect ensured  some kind of food security for the farmers and was an endeavour at ensuring robust availability of farm produce.

"The three laws not only increase the risk for farmers getting exploited by the middle men, not having a control over the price and process; but also threatens nation’s food security in a way," he said.
