Scaling Up Aspirations, Speeding Up Activities On Your Terrace and Balcony
This hard knowledge is balanced with the promise that the respectful seeker can explore and learn much, not least about our own sources of indifference, violence, and new twisted words out of our intellect with endless deferral to promises made to nature and our future.
This project report is set and extends our local study effort on sustainable agriculture and forestation towards 2030. The theory of 'unbalanced growth' discusses sectoral linkages and indicates that agriculture could not become a leading sector due to its weak backward links.
The project proposes the transfer of sustainable methods and the promotion of indigenous knowledge and varieties of seeds/breeds so that environmental sustainability can be ensured. Furthermore, the improved designs of water harvesting structures and plantations on permanent fallows will help in soil and water conservation and groundwater recharge sustainably. In addition, the increased organic waste in the soil will help regain soil health and thereby sustainably increase productivity.
The project's participatory approach will ensure the project's ownership by the community, which is expected to ensure sustainability. The project proposes a livelihood-based approach to adaptation, developing asset/capital base of individual/community in a participatory model. Four types of capital base will be created, i.e., human capital, natural capital, physical capital, & financial capital. The human capital will be formed through developing farmers' adaptive knowledge and skill base. In contrast, physical capital will be in the shape of water harvesting structures, micro-irrigation facilities, integrated farming models, home gardens, etc. The natural capital will be the knowledge basis for drawing up the Village Council wise plan. This will positively impact the financial capital of the farmer households. All of these will lead to improvement in the adaptive capacity, both at the farm and community level. The combined impact of these components will ensure the sustainability of the outcome in the long run.
