For small-scale farmers, cultivation is an arduous task where various predicaments are constantly created. Natural fluctuations, especially climate change, have a major impact on crop production. Due to the lack of climate-resilient technology, it becomes difficult for them to survive in subsistence farming. Often, bureaucratic complexities make it difficult for farmers to receive government assistance. Additionally, due to the monopoly of big businesses in the market, small farmers are deprived of fair prices, which has a negative impact on their livelihood.
Agrochemical prices are exorbitant, and many farmers cannot afford them. Infrastructure and storage system inefficiency increases crop wastage.
To solve these problems, government and non-government intervention is needed so that farmers can ensure sustainability. Working with foresight can eliminate agricultural disparity in the future.
