They have a common root- Bauer in German, literally man of the soil- means both Farmer ( the more dignified) and Peasants. Farmers usually owned their own property which they worked. Peasants includes tenant-farmers, share-croppers ( a system which sounded benign but lent itself to abuses) and the very bottom of the barrel Slaves and serfs. Strange as it sounds there were supposedly laws in the United States ( well after the Civil War, that forbade or highly restricted the agrarian laborer from either changing jobs, or getting into another line of work. They were, in a sense literally tied to a very monotonous and heavy job. In a sense, this was a form of slavery. Thus, Peasant has a derisive aspect, unlike Farmer proper.

Peasant farmers tend to grow a variety of crops to ensure food security and reduce the risk of total crop failure due to pests, diseases, or adverse weather conditions. Diversifying their crop production also helps improve soil health and fertility, as different plants can contribute unique nutrients and reduce soil depletion. Additionally, growing multiple crops allows peasant farmers to meet various market demands and provide for their families' nutritional needs. This practice enhances resilience and sustainability in their farming systems.
