👉 Smallholder is a term used in agriculture to describe an individual or family that practices agricultural production on their own land, without relying heavily on commercial farming. Smallholders often grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables, which are not typically grown commercially. They may also raise livestock or engage in other forms of animal husbandry. Smallholders are often found in rural areas where access to markets is limited, and they rely on their own resources for food production.
