Abstract	This study explores the diverse and complex challenges faced by agricultural farmers in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, where agriculture is integral to the economy, food security, and cultural heritage. The region's agrarian community faces pressing issues such as water scarcity, climate change, limited infrastructure, fluctuating market access, and socio-economic constraints, all of which impact agricultural productivity and resilience. Through a detailed survey of farmers, this study analysed demographic patterns, motivations, educational backgrounds, family structures, and levels of agricultural experience to understand the unique perspectives within the farming community. Key findings reveal that age distribution skews youthful, while there’s also a strong representation from experienced farmers, highlighting both innovative practices and traditional knowledge. Dependence on agriculture for livelihood remains high, with crop diversity and sustainable practices being crucial for economic resilience. Climate variability, soil fertility decline, and pest issues are among the most significant challenges faced by farmers, with solutions like water management, market access, and financial support deemed most effective. Migration trends, driven by economic opportunities, are affecting farming operations, further underscoring the need for tailored policies. The study recommends a multifaceted approach to agricultural development, including balanced representation in surveys, economic Upliftment, support for traditional and sustainable farming practices, climate adaptation measures, and infrastructure improvements. Emphasizing these areas will contribute to a resilient, productive, and sustainable agricultural sector that aligns with regional socio-economic development goals.
Keywords	Agricultural farmers, Dakshina Kannada, Innovative practices, Traditional knowledge and Economic resilience.
