“…We only assigned articles to this group in which the authors explicitly comment on this issue, we did not draw any conclusions from the samples and quantitative results alone.

“…But in recent years, they are faced with more difficulties to access irrigation water and to procure agro‐products and machineries to continue farming and thus, many are forced to leave their farmlands. The enduring pandemic has further forced them to face food insecurity in their villages (Saxena et al, 2020).
