Problems and policy imperatives of small farmers in India
Authors

Abstract
The vast majority of farmers in India are tiny and marginal, with
landholdings of less than one hectare or between one and two hectares. Small
farmers in India have numerous challenges in obtaining technological,
financial, and institutional assistance. Small-scale farmers need funding for
both spending and investment. Growing levels of debt have contributed to the
financial burdens faced by these farmers in recent times. Climate change is
anticipated to worsen the living conditions of already vulnerable and food
small farmers. Water will be a bigger issue for marginal and small farms in the
future. As a result, water management will be critical for these farmers. The
biggest issue occurs when middlemen begin to exploit the poor and needy
farmers. By creating direct contact between manufacturers and consumers,
middlemen may be avoided. Farmers may be able to conserve resources and stop
the loss of soil productivity if the information and dose of fertilizers to be
employed are provided following soil inspection by a specific professional. So,
small farmers in India are dealing with a variety of problems that they cannot
resolve without the government putting in place awareness-raising programmes to
inform them of these serious issues.
