This book examines the vital role of agriculture in developing economies, particularly in India, where smallholder farmers face significant challenges. Focusing on the Lakhpati Farmers initiative, the book highlights the programme’s efforts to economically empower farmers and accelerate income growth. Initiated by the Collectives for Integrated Livelihood Initiatives (CInI), the programme aimed to help farmers in central India’s tribal regions earn over INR 100,000 per year. With a reach across 12 districts in Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, the initiative worked to improve the livelihoods of tribal communities. Through detailed case studies, this book explores the programme’s strategies, processes, and challenges, providing valuable insights into supporting small and marginal farmers.
