Qualitative Agriculture: Exploring Human Dimensions in Farming Practices

Abstract

This paper explores the human dimensions of farming practices through a qualitative lens, aiming to deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships between farmers, their environments, and agricultural techniques. By delving into the subjective experiences, perceptions, and motivations of farmers, this study sheds light on how these factors influence agricultural decision-making and practices. Through qualitative analysis of interviews and observations, we uncover the nuanced interplay of culture, tradition, knowledge, and socioeconomic factors that shape agricultural landscapes. Ultimately, this research contributes to a holistic perspective on agriculture that integrates human dimensions with ecological and technological aspects, paving the way for more sustainable and culturally responsive farming strategies.
