Peasant societies

Peasant societies refer to agricultural communities where low-income, small-scale farmers or laborers produce food primarily for their own consumption and local markets. They often live in rural areas, work on family farms or small plots of land, and have limited access to advanced technology or resources. Despite economic constraints, peasant societies can be rich in tradition, social bonds, and local customs. Their livelihoods depend heavily on agricultural productivity, and they typically have close ties to land and community life, shaping social structures and cultural practices over generations.
