Farmers and Farming: Practices, Management and Challenges opens with a focus on livelihood, which refers to the way people make a living. Livelihoods are the means people use to support themselves, to survive and to prosper.
Next, the authors aim to analyze the socio-economic features of farmers involved in organic cultivation, exploring landholding patterns in the northern part of Karnataka state.
They also explore how gender-based farming systems analysis could be used to simulate the effects of a change in agricultural practices on gender relations, either with the aim to do no harm or with the objective to achieve more gender equality.
In closing, an overview on the potential and setbacks of intercropping in maintaining crop yields in changing climate in smallholder farmers in ESA set-up.
