Planning will pertain to Land development - Create a layout for each plot, deep plough the soil to break the hard sub soil strata to create porosity & promote aeration, clod crushing to form a fine filth, remove the wild weeds & grass by roots, excavate pits for plantation, excavate trenches in the plots for excess water drain in monsoons as well as to prepare compost of good nutrient value, create raise beds for crop cultivation.
Soil Fertility - The entire project economics depends on the soil fertility, organic matter content, humus content, moisture holding capacity, microbial activity etc Soils are sick due to poor aftercare and maintenance and do need renovation.
Shortlisting Planting Material & Procurement to create a Bio Diversity – Dense Plantation on the Farm.
A centre point where the supply of disease free seedlings, seeds & saplings can be provided to the farmers as per the season and wish. This can enhance group cultivation, contract farming etc the availability of true to type material is a need of today. The entire production, supply against demand must be fulfilled by this activity.
Two or three crops can be cultivated together as according to the age & crop condition. Inter crop, mix crop, trap crop, crop on the periphery will be the criteria followed. This will ensure proper land utilization taking care of effects of several parameters & factors like the wind velocity, insect & pest attack, sunlight availability, humidity, promoting microbial activity improving organic matter content and moisture holding capacity.
This activity is necessary at rural/village level. The need here is to train & educate the villagers on creating awareness on crops, crop growing techniques, technological application, research findings etc. Efforts need to be geared up to increase production through quality and consistent supply. Training needs to be provided on various aspects of application. At urban level awareness is necessary on health, food, food habits and the benefits of agriculture/farming importance of produce etc Benefits of nature, fruits trees, forest and medicinal plants on various diseases is an important aspect. Here training need to be provided.
