This project was completed in 2017 with the publication of How Do Small Farmers Fare? Evidence from Village Studies in India.

This research examined the socio-economic characteristics of small-scale farming households in different agro-ecological regions of India and the viability of small-scale farming in contemporary conditions. This was a theoretical and empirical study, and draws on a wide range of sources of secondary data and on data from the Foundation’s archive of household data from villages in different parts of India.

A conference was organised to discuss the findings of research before publication of the book.

This project was supported by Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.
