What is tenat farming?

Tenant farming is an agricultural system where a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crops produced or a fixed rental fee. This arrangement can benefit both parties, as landowners receive income without the need to actively farm, while tenants gain access to land they may not otherwise afford. Tenant farmers often invest their own resources into the land to improve productivity, but they may also face challenges such as lack of security and dependency on market fluctuations. The system has historical roots and has evolved over time, impacting agricultural practices and land ownership dynamics.
