Smallholder farming has faced significant transformations in Thailand over the past thirty years. These socio-demographic, technical, economic and climatic changes have considerably increased its vulnerability. The sustainability of the smallholders' agricultural model which rests on cash crops and requires large quantities of chemical inputs is now threatened. Through the study in 2014 and 2019 of two rural villages he had first surveyed in 1984–1985, the author offers a detailed review of these changes, and examines the ways the farmers deal with them. |
