Industries force farmers from land

In Canada, when farmland is taken over for industrial or government purposes, we usually think of farmers selling their properties, and perhaps having enough money to buy a new farm elsewhere or to start a new way of life. It’s probably not that simple in reality, and it’s nowhere near that simple in other countries, such as India, where land rights and zoning are not as clearly defined.
