Farmers are always in the poverty mostly in the developing world. Their poverty is somewhat getting stacked with their lives despite various schemes & farmer welfare programmes. Could anybody suggest something significant in this direction...??
Strategic efforts to effect change are constantly challenged by emerging forces about which there is little advance knowledge. For constructive action, it is useful to look at the past to gain a perspective on the present; but, it is even more profitable to revisit past visions of the future from an interpretation of the present. The concepts of change over time, context, causality, contingency, and complexity help make sense.

While it is true that many farmers in the developing countries are still lucked up in 'destitution' so to say, it is important to emphasize that such situation is not permanent and actually 'escapable'.
For this progressive change to occur, there is a need for change in deeply entrenched ideas and approaches of developing countries' farmers. To make the best out of their farming activities, smallholder farmers who constitute majority of the concerned group need to be more business and profit oriented. They really need to be more educated and make use of modern-day technologies for farming, marketing and associated purposes.
Of course, the challenges of farmers in the developing countries are many but they are not unsolvable in relation to 'destitution'.
The following strategies might cause change in the situation:
1. Proper awareness programmes can be initiated to induce marketing knowledge to farmers, specially to make them aware about need assessment and according production planning.
2. Cooperative of farmers can be formed to give them bargaining power and a have a common platform to ensure fair trade.
