peasant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'farmer' is the definition.
(I know that peasant is a type of farmer)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "Rural person of low class" , "Lowly tiller of land" , "Yokel" , "Provincial" , "Agricultural labourer of low status" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
