    The SEZ story could get bigger, for example, via more people asking the question whether industrial projects will actually reduce cultivable land to the point where agricultural production will be “affected”. There are complicated issues here - effectiveness of irrigation projects, corporate farming versus traditional farming, the real rate of urbanisation in India, etc. True, not all of this can be explained in a television programme. But at least some of these questions can be asked and people who have seriously worked on these issues can be invited. One helpful suggestion: if you want an expert to tell you about net arable land, give him or her at least three sentences before you interrupt.
