Another example is tax on land, which the British fixed in India around the end of the18th century was set at 50% of the gross agricultural produce. sometimes 70 to 80% of the gross produce.. thus one-third of the best irrigated land, in Tamil Nadu, went out of cultivation by around 1840.
And those who are still engaged in agriculture have to be educated not to use synthetic chemical fertiliser (which is akin to putting poison in the farm)... and to do it the organic way and neither to use Genetically Modified seeds or plants.
