Farmers worldwide are facing increasing challenges that are darkening their sentiments and causing hopes to fade. Key factors contributing to this situation include:
- Unpredictable Weather:
Climate change has made weather patterns more erratic, leading to droughts, floods, and other extreme conditions that severely affect agricultural productivity. - Rising Costs:
High input costs, including seeds, fertilizers, and machinery, make farming less profitable, especially for small-scale farmers. - Market Instabilities:
Fluctuating commodity prices and limited access to fair markets leave farmers vulnerable to financial instability.
