Vishav Partap Singh
Abstract:
This paper investigates the array of risks faced by farmers, including climate, market, financial, and policy risks. Using data from various governmental and international sources, the study examines the impact of these risks on agricultural productivity and farmers' livelihoods. The analysis also explores potential mitigation strategies, emphasizing the role of technology, policy interventions, and community support systems. The findings suggest that a comprehensive and coordinated approach is essential to mitigate the risks faced by farmers, enhance their resilience, and ensure the sustainability of agricultural practices. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on agricultural risk management and offers actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and the farming community.
