To transform rural farming by equipping communities with advanced agricultural knowledge, fostering innovation, and creating a self-sustaining farming ecosystem that can withstand the pressures of climate change.Objectives:
- Promoting Climate-Resilient Crops: Introduce and expand the cultivation of indigenous crops like Foxtail Millet (Kaguno), known for their ability to thrive in harsh climates while providing high nutritional value.
- Empowering Farmers Through Training: Conduct specialized training on efficient farming techniques tailored to specific crops, ensuring increased productivity and sustainability.
- Establishing Seed and Market Management: Create a structured system for seed distribution, collection, and market linkage to ensure sustainable production cycles and economic benefits for farmers.
Sustaining the Program Through Market Expansion:
After four years of proven success, our initiative has gained recognition and follow-up from different sectors—now it's time to scale. To ensure long-term sustainability, we are taking the next leap: processing and marketing the product via Merit. By establishing processing and marketing plants in key farming regions, we will eliminate middlemen, secure better prices for farmers, and create a direct farm-to-market system that empowers rural communities. This expansion is the key to making this program fully self-sustaining and replicable nationwide.Key Activities:
- Research on Climate-Resilient Crops: Explore and promote indigenous crops like Kaguno that can thrive in harsh climates while providing nutritious yields. This involves partnerships with agricultural research institutions to ensure continuous innovation.
- Localized Weather Forecasting: Develop a specific, localized weather prediction system to help farmers prepare for climatic uncertainties. Soil Health Optimization: Launch mobile soil testing units to assess soil quality and recommend crop-specific improvements.
- Community Equipment Bank: Provide essential farming tools, such as plough machines and grass cutters, on a rotational basis to minimize costs and maximize access for all farmers.
- Scaling Kaguno Cultivation: Extend the cultivation of Kaguno to remote regions, increasing food security and reducing reliance on less resilient crops.
Beneficiaries:
- Primary: Farmers who will directly benefit from training, equipment, and improved agricultural practices.
- Secondary: Consumers who will gain access to healthier, locally grown produce.
