New India Publishing Agency Family Farming and Rural Economic Development
Book SynopsisFamily farming is the most common form of agriculture in both developed and developing countries, encompassing all family-based agricultural activities. It is closely linked to various aspects of rural and social development. Defined as a means of organizing agricultural, forestry, fisheries, pastoral, and aquaculture production that is managed and operated by a family, with an increasing reliance on family labor, both male and female, it plays a significant role in ensuring food security. In developing countries like India, several factors are crucial for the successful development of family farming, such as: agro-ecological conditions and territorial characteristics; access to markets; policy environment; access to land and natural resources; access to technology and extension services; access to finance; demographic, economic, and socio-cultural conditions; availability of specialized education. Recognizing the importance of family farming in poverty alleviation and rural development, the United Nations designated 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming at its 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This initiative aimed to raise awareness and promote the role of family farming in achieving sustainable development goals. The book, which is the subject of this content, provides a diverse range of perspectives and addresses key issues relevant to the agriculture industry, researchers, faculty, and others.
