We have seen an increase in barren lands recently but why?
- Rammanna owns cultivation land but struggles to find adequate funds.
- Hanumanthu finds it impossible to find enough labor to work on the lands he owns.
- Nanjundappa loses his age-old farming traditions as his young educated children relocated to big cities in search of white collar jobs.
So on a whole,
- Lack of funds
Many farmers need money to cultivate and hire more workers. - Monitize Excess Land
- Some farmers want to monetize excess land by selling it to investors or renting it out to enthusiasts to enjoy the agricultural lifestyle.
- Management & Tech Adaption
Some farmers may need help managing their farm efficiently using better technology. - Children Leaving
Children sometimes leave the farm to start their own career, and the family will not be able to continue farming. - Retirement
Some farmers may be retiring and want to sell or rent their farm so that they can retire comfortably.
