"The biggest hardship we have faced in life is inadequacy of arable land - the tillable part of our one acre piece of land is just 0.4 acres. Accordingly, we get little produce that is hardly enough for us. Since most of our land is rocky, we find it most challenging to rely on sibsistence farming alone for survival."
