Small scale farming in India
This dossier on small scale agriculture explores the present issues of agriculture in India, the challenges for its small farmers and which alternatives can be developed. We certainly have to move from viewing food as an economics good to looking at agriculture as a livelihood. A study of traditional Indian agriculture, particularly the knowledge and methods used by small farmers, provides us critical sources of alternatives particularly in the context of mitigation as well as adaptation to climate change.
