Farming    
        
Agriculture is the backbone of rural economies. It is essential as a subsistence activity and also as a source of cash income for many people. Financial service providers in rural areas need to understand agricultural production and marketing issues and how to advise their clients regarding investment decisions. Agricultural advisers also need to be aware of the financial implications of their technical advice and ensure that people's livelihoods are not put at risk by unwise investment decisions.
