Pages : 114
Year of Publication : 2026
Language : English
Binding : Hardback
As agri-food systems evolve and consumer demand for processed food grows, smallholder farmers face mounting challenges-from climate risks to uncertainties and limited access to inputs and extension services. In this context, contract farming has emerged as a strategic solution to bridge the gap between farmers and dynamic markets by providing assured markets, technical support and value chain integration. This book critically examines the perceived effects of contract farming on employment generation and poverty reduction, with a particular focus on rural India and empirical insights from West Bengal. It explores the socio-economic and demographic profiles of the contract farmers, their perceptions and the constraints they face within the contract farming arrangements. Designed for researchers, policymakers, extension professionals, agribusiness practitioners and students. This book offers actionable insights and policy recommendations to make contract farming more inclusive, equitable and sustainable. By combining analytical depth with grounded field experiences, it can serve as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and reform contract farming in the broader context of rural transformation and agricultural modernisation.
