2-Farmers as entrepreneurs
Farmers have used a variety of ways to develop alternative income earning opportunities. Such incomes may have some link to agriculture, such as the marketing or processing of agricultural products or could be outside the realm of agriculture, e.g. products of handicrafts made from plant fibre.
In this sense, farmers are and have been “entrepreneurial” for quite some time. They grapple with several challenges simultaneously – from food and income needs, pressures of global trade and increasing unpredictable weather situations. In this issue, we have compiled a few experiences of farmers who have made efforts to successfully address some of these challenges.
