Will the new Agriculture Infrastructure & Development Cess affect common man?
The Finance Minister has presented the budget, which overall did not seem to touch the middle class in any major way. There was an Agriculture Infrastructure & Development Cess (AIDC), which has been brought in to aid the agri sector. The cess is not uniform and varies from product to product.

According to researchers at Virginia Tech, the U.S. dairy industry contributes approximately 1.58 percent of the country’s total greenhouse gas emissions. A commonly suggested solution to reduce greenhouse gas output has been to reduce or eliminate this industry in favor of plant production. Yet according to the research, the removal of dairy cows from the United States agricultural industry would only reduce greenhouse emissions by about 0.7 percent while significantly lowering the available supply of essential nutrients for humans: protein requirements of 169 million people, calcium requirements of 254 million people, and energy requirements of 71.2 million people. Maybe it's because I work in the dairy industry, but I rarely hear what other industries are doing to lower their GHGs. What have you seen?
