Peasants are typically small-scale farmers or agricultural laborers who work the land to produce food and other goods. Historically, they have been part of a feudal system, often tied to a lord or landowner, and their social status has varied across different cultures and time periods. Peasants usually live in rural areas and rely on traditional farming methods. In many societies, peasants have played a crucial role in sustaining local economies and communities. They often grow crops such as wheat, corn, and rice, and may also raise livestock. Despite their hard work, peasants have frequently faced challenges, including poverty, limited access to resources, and social inequality.
