A Diligent Obligation to Serve

France must rethink its decision taken on farmers. The French farmers have been given short-shrift by their government. The French government must protect the interests of farmers as they provide food to the nation. The farmers serve food needs which is a prerequisite to live a decent life. In case, of social or economic problems, farmers have a diligent obligation to serve the food needs of the nation, irrespective of the social or economic conditions that a nation flounders in. Ignoring the plight of the farmers is akin to ignoring the life of the nation. The agriculture constitutes substantial proportion of the economy, and should be kept protected. The idea of trade is beneficial when it brings benefits to the intended beneficiaries, and in this case, agriculture should bring benefit to the French farmers. Carelessly following a theoretical model is not the best decision that the French government has taken. It must ponder hard over the difficulties that farmers have to trundle, and work that they are involved in. The famers have a duty towards the society that they live in, and should be given the due that they rightfully deserve. The decision that has been taken on behalf of the farmers in Paris, is not directly or indirectly, beneficial to them.

The farmers provide food to their nation and their commercial interests should be taken up with seriousness of purpose. Agriculture should be given the attention that it deserves and all interests that are at stake must be protected by the French government. Otherwise, the trade agreement with Mercosur trade bloc should be made agreeable to the French farming community. The famers have their rights, and should be given the attention of the government. The government should call for a discussion with the farmers and give them their intended due. The government in France must not live in ignorance and should discuss the significant matter of trade with the French farmers. Almost all trade benefits the parties concerned, and therefore the French farmers must be given the benefits that they aptly deserve. The immaculate nature of the problem should be considered more appropriate, and the French farmers must be heard in Paris. The free trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc of nations should not tire the interests of the farmers. The government has a salient role to play in protecting the interests of the farmers lest they are left astride. More discussion must be considered a better way to understand the problem rather that blindly applying a theoretical model that will not stubbornly work. The farmers interests must be protected.
