More Than Just Smoke: Stubble, the Farmer’s Dilemma

Abstract

The film ‘More Than Just Smoke: Stubble- The Farmer’s Dilemma’ by Shaz Syed looks at the issue of stubble burning in the state of Punjab. It shifts perspective from mainstream news headlines to the vast agricultural expanse of Punjab and to its farmers. It takes a small region as an example to reflect upon how farmers are caught in a web of agricultural policies that have over the years led to a steep decline in farming practices which have in turn adversely affected the land’s ecology and environment.
