patronage of midwives and farmers

Patronage of midwives and farmers refers to the support, endorsement, or protection provided to these professionals by individuals, communities, or institutions. For midwives, patronage might include government backing or community respect that ensures they can practice safely and receive necessary resources. For farmers, it could involve financial support, favorable policies, or societal appreciation that helps sustain their agricultural activities. Such patronage helps these professionals thrive, maintain their roles, and contribute essential services—like childbirth assistance and food production—to society.
