Project Abstract

This research focuses on exploring sustainable agricultural practices specifically tailored for small-scale farmers. Small-scale farmers play a crucial role in global food production and rural development, particularly in developing countries. However, they often face numerous challenges such as limited resources, lack of access to modern technologies, and vulnerability to climate change impacts. This study aims to identify and analyze sustainable agricultural practices that can enhance the productivity, profitability, and resilience of small-scale farming systems. By promoting sustainable practices, small-scale farmers can improve their livelihoods, contribute to food security, and mitigate environmental degradation.
