I have 3 farms and 2 active fields but diminishing food production, I have reduced the population and the soldiers are deserting. There seems to be more than one stonecutter to match the number of buildings but only one farmer. What can I do to increase the food production (level6)

I do not understand you pretty well, but to produce more food build/upgrade more farmhouses/increase Public Order/Research Crop Field rotation/Hire an Overseer/hire the hunter, and also decrease the amount of soldiers you have or buy a bakery to decrease consumption

The 'active fields' you mention are at the side of your castle, correct? Those don't mean anything; it's just graphic and expand as ur castle grows.
The people that you see walking around the castle don't mean anything either. Again, another graphic to make game look nice.
I am assuming you are at ur first castle. You can build more farmhouses or increase public order. since either you or your farms are level 6, you can forget about crop field rotation. that comes in later stages of the game.
to ur bottom left of the screen, u will see a little box, about 150 x 150 pixels. click on the info tab and highlight one of ur farms. u should see something like this: CLICK ME!!. Don't build too many farmhouses that ur output becomes so low that become inefficient building/upgrading. you will go nowhere this way.
Another thing you can do, is follow the rest of what xJadesssx said (excluding the research part) and most importantly, read a bit on the forums. mostly the questions section + tips/tricks subforum + FAQs subforum. You will learn a lot

Okay, here's what your problem is.
You're level 8, you have 17 dwellings but only 3 farms and 2 decorative items.
Your population is eating all your food. You have way too many dwelling for this stage in the game.
Build more farms and more decorative items or demolish some of those dwellings until your food production is more than your consumption.

population is reducing food output from farms, i think he means (but uses simpler terms to make OP understand)

Yeah, sorry. I meant the large population for such small castle is the cause of the problem.
