Answer:
A
farmer with 1 hectare of land will produce just barely enough for the survival
of his family. He needs to buy seeds and fertilisers, for which he needs loans
at high interest rates from large farmers, traders or moneylenders.
These loans may also require him to work in the lender's fields.
He works on his land with his family members. The output
depends upon the availability of water for irrigation, or if not available, on
rainfall, which is uncertain and erratic. To meet family expenses and repay loans,
he and his family members have to also work as farm labourers.
After harvest, there is no surplus left, as he uses the produce
for his needs or for repaying his lenders.
