Growing Prosperity of Smallholder Farmers in India
Abstract
When we talk of creating and sustaining millions of jobs in India, the potential of agriculture as a sector and smallholder farmers as a key constituency cannot be ignored. About 100 million1 smallholder farmers employ themselves on their farms, and provide employment to their own family members and a few other individuals. But, still most are poor. Every rupee invested, and invested effectively in smallholder agriculture and farmers has huge potential to not only make their enterprises thrive, but to potentially reduce poverty substantially. Then, where is the problem?
