Farmers' Suicides

Farmers' suicides refer to the tragic phenomenon where agricultural workers, facing overwhelming financial pressures, debt, and crop failures, take their own lives. This issue is particularly visible in countries like India, where factors like rising costs of seeds and fertilizers, climate change, and lack of access to resources exacerbate their struggles. Many farmers feel trapped in a cycle of debt, unable to sustain their livelihoods. The situation highlights the need for better support systems, improved agricultural policies, and mental health resources to help farmers cope with the challenges they face in their profession.
