=== Agriculture ===
▲Since the 1970s, Tissandra economic inequality has grown faster than in other developed countries. The poverty line in Tissandra is commonly defined as being 60 % of the median household income. [[The Office for National Statistics]] has estimated that in 2011, 14 million people were at risk of poverty or social exclusion, and that one person in 20 (5.1 %) was experiencing "severe material depression", up from 3 million people in 1977. Although Tissandra does not have an official poverty measure, the [[Cromby Jamestree Foundation]] and the [[Social Metrics Commission]] estimate, based on government data, that there are 14 million people in poverty in Tissandra. 1.5 million people experienced destitution in 2017.
[[File:Farm in Volkia.jpg|thumb|271x271px|A farm in the [[Eastern Plains]].]]Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized and efficient by Urthian standards, producing about 60 % of food needs with less than 1.6 % of the labour force (614,128 workers). Around two-thirds of production is devoted to arable corps, one-third to livestock. The majority of irrigation were an upgraded form of the older irrigation system dating back to the Clintinian era. Farmers are managed under local [[Farmer's Working Group]] that lies under the [[Ministry of Industry and Agriculture of Tissandra|Ministry of Industry and Agriculture]]'s jurisdiction. Since 1999, there were certain government subsidies for national farming. The [[Farmer Tax Act of 2000]] reduced the land tax farmers need to pay from a whole 10% of 75% of the revenue, to just 10% of 50% of the revenue. This resulted in a boom of forest clearing throughout the 2000 - 2010. The government finally passed the [[Land Clearing Act of 2010]] that gives sanction for people who cleared forest without the aproval of local area planner. The government also introduced specific use forests areas for paper industry and furniture, while also enlarging the protected areas a bit more. Tissandra retains a significant, though much reduced fishing industry, with Port August became the main fishing port in the country. The nation produced 36,000 tonnes of fish, with 75% of them came from fish farms throughout the coasts. The fisihing industries also get subsidized by the government through the [[Fisheries Act of 2012]], which obliged insurance companies to gives lower insurance premium for fishermen.
