Sociology of Agriculture

The sociology of agriculture studies the social relationships and structures that influence farming practices, rural communities, and food production systems. It examines how cultural, economic, and political factors shape agricultural policies, farmer behaviors, and the connections between rural and urban areas. This field also explores issues like land use, environmental sustainability, social equity, and the impact of globalization on local farming. By understanding these dynamics, researchers can address challenges such as food security, community development, and the social implications of agricultural changes.
