Impact of Covid-19 on Farmers' Behavior in Chikkaballapur District, Karnataka, India

Résumé

This study explored how COVID-19 affected farmers in Chikkaballapur District, Karnataka, India. Using an ex-post-facto research design, data were collected from 50 randomly selected farmers through a pretested structured interview schedule. The goal was to understand their perceptions of the pandemic's impact on farming, productivity, economy, markets, labour, and community well-being. Statistical methods like mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the relationships between various factors. The findings showed significant variability in farm size and income, indicating a wide range of differences among farmers. Notably, changes in economic factors were significantly related to farm size, while changes in production were significantly related to education. Health and sanitation were negatively correlated with changes in farm technology, suggesting that better infrastructure could influence the adoption of new technologies. Age and education significantly impacted changes in farm management, highlighting the importance of demographic factors in farming decisions. The study emphasized the complex effects of the pandemic on farming practices and highlighted the need for targeted interventions. Recommendations include financial support programs, improved market access, promotion of digital tools, and diversified cropping strategies to help farmers build resilience and sustainability. These measures aim to reduce the adverse effects of crises and improve the overall well-being of farming communities.
