Conclusion

Abstract

The   farmers of western Rajasthan are faced with one certainty: the certainty that   their livelihood each year is uncertain. My concern in this study has been to   look at the way people in one part of the region survive in circumstances of   great uncertainty about subsistence in the face of unreliable seasonal   rainfall. The study has been conceived primarily as a study of an agrarian   system -a system of agricultural production including the ecological,   socio-economic and political context.
