Name the forming process that disengages farmers from the production process and makes their own indigenous knowledge of agriculture irreleveant:

Contact farming

The correct answer is Option 3: Contact farming

Contract farming is a system where farmers agree to produce crops for a company under predetermined conditions. While it may offer assured markets or inputs, it often disengages farmers from decision-making in the production process, such as seed selection, crop choice, and farming methods. As a result, farmers' traditional or indigenous agricultural knowledge becomes irrelevant, since they must follow the company’s guidelines, which are typically based on commercial or export-oriented goals.
