The book examines the socio-economic challenges faced by farmers who have committed suicide, highlighting their reliance on uncertain labor and rainfed farming. It reveals the struggles of small landholdings, low education levels, and a lack of alternative occupations. The predominant cropping patterns of cotton and soyabean are marked by unpredictable yields, exacerbating the issue of indebtedness among these families. The study emphasizes the need for sustainable agricultural practices and effective extension services to improve the precarious production systems.
