Another concern of this study was to know the level of happiness of farmers and what best predict their happiness. The data were gathered using qualitative interview and survey type questionnaire. These were analyzed using thematic approach, regression analysis, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation.
