Reasons Why BC Liberal Farmers Need To Be Protected

By Donna Adams


Agricultural land is the source of livelihood for many rural communities in most countries in the world. Therefore, introducing draconian laws that come in the form of Bill 15, which intends to take away the pieces of land that belong to BC liberal farmers is not only dictatorial but also inhuman. This article will outline the importance of agriculture to any community and the reasons why agricultural land must be preserved.

Any society needs to feel secured in terms of food. Food is a very important factor in determining how a group of people or a given nation is advanced. The ability to afford food does not only depend on the availability of money to buy the food but also the availability of food itself. Since farmers are the ones who are tasked with the production of these food materials before they can be processed or consumed, they must be protected at all costs.

Protecting the farmers and their rights will be protecting the rights of humans. It is very important that all key factors, in this case, come together to protest against the violation of the rights of the people by these so called private developers. You should not wish to make a fortune by making a fellow human being live like a slave.

When the rich oppress the poor, these poor majority will be forced to push back. Nations that have degenerated into civil wars have done so because a section of the society felt marginalized, oppressed, and subjected to perpetual injustices. This should not be allowed to happen in any society because it will destabilize the entire society, leading to lots of negative effects.

The British Columbian society deserves to be given both financial and intellectual aid to help them upgrade their farming skills. If instead of helping in any manner, the government wants to bring forth private developers, it means that the same government is hypocritical. A government run by hypocrites is always bound to turn against its subjects, and the larger society needs to be quite weird of this move.

Speaking of oppression, it is important to realize that when you oppress a fellow human being, you are oppressing yourself. According to the philosophical teachings, the oppressor and the oppressed are both dehumanized. When people are oppressed, the individuals who look on without doing anything and those perpetuating the oppression are also being oppressed.

There ought to be ownership by the people if the government wants to start a project that is intended to help them. Any project, no matter how good, will fail if the people are not involved from the start. Imposing projects on people is the reason why societies rebel against governments.

Therefore, fundamental human rights must never be violated. Farmers are human beings with their rights, and this means that their interest has to be protected. The government must ensure that every citizen feels included and safe in their land for better results when it comes to the agricultural field.
