The agrarian question dealing with peasants’reproduction inadverse global conditions is a topic of deep debate closely linkedto farm viability. Approaches that define viability in monetaryterms  cannot  explain  peasants’way  of  farming.  Holisticapproaches  can  better  analyse  this  question  but  existingframeworks leave aside aspects of reproduction.
