Humanities and Social Sciences

Abstract: The growth of agribusiness has had an influence on the agriculture industry in many nations worldwide. Many small farmers in India have suffered as a result of competing with huge farms that have access to greater resources and money. Alternative food networks are non-governmental projects that help small farmers succeed and be fairly compensated. This research focuses on small farmers in the Indian state of Kerala that are members of an alternative food network, especially a farmer producer enterprise (FPC). The study's goal is to learn about the experiences and viewpoints of small farmers in Wayanad, Kerala, and how climate change has affected them. Rural producer organisations are essential to the well-being of the community. They support small, marginal, and landless farmers who face substantial challenges during the agricultural production phase. Farmers frequently struggle to market their produce due to a lack of financial means.
