Six momentous years have gone by since Farmers’ Forum is being published. It has been satisfying that the magazine has provided an independent platform for all serious opinions from different perspectives on the farm economy. More than a hundred and fifty subject matter specialists and independent experts have contributed on issues and ideas for Indian agriculture. Many more farmers have shared their experiences with us. The overarching objective of this Bharat Krishak Samaj endeavour has been to generate an understanding amongst those that influence policy of the impact of the formulated policies and alternatives that exist.

What has become clear to the editorial team is that those who know how to farm cannot express themselves as well as those who articulate well on the farm economy but do not farm. It is to providing a voice to the former and to inform the latter that Farmers’ Forum will continue to dedicate itself. It will not be an easy way forward; it will be challenging, exciting and, hopefully, rewarding as well.
