How does the text explain farmer suicides in India?

The text explains that farmer suicides in India are largely attributable to the extreme challenges small-scale farmers have faced in recent decades. These issues include low crop prices due to increased competition, high debt and the effects of climate change, such as shifting monsoon patterns and extreme weather conditions that cause crop damage. The text also mentions a lack of government support and inadequate access to inputs, credit and insurance that contribute to the problem.
