Fig: One Hectare IFS Model (UAS, Bangalore)

The basic Principles behind this successful proven model/system are:

Conserving as much rainwater in situ as possible (through bunding and contour cultivation)

Harvesting and storing surplus as much runoff water as possible in the farm pond and making best use of the same.

Bringing as much vegetative cover as possible in each and every piece and parcel of one ha with food crops, fodder crops, fibre crops, fuel crops, green manure crops, flowers , vegetables, fruits and forest trees of valuable timber

HONOURS AND AWARDS

LESSONS LEARNT

Recurrence of drought necessitated drought proofing measures rather than promotion of crop based improved cultivation practices. Weather based crop insurance becomes necessity to cope against the drought

Soil and water conservation work undertaken was well appreciated by the farming community due its visible benefits

Constant monitoring biogas unit, and continues supply of cow dung are the prerequisites for promotion of biogas and vermicomposting

Farmers were unaware of the response to micro nutrients viz , Calcium , Sulphur ,Zinc, Boron . The project shown the response through demonstration .

The horizontal spread off improved Onion production technologies was determined by market fluctuations.

Farmer’s awareness on intercropping raised additional income.

The project could not shows the impact of processing and value addition to field crops due to frequent power cuts and difficulty in obtaining the license and mobilizing the deposits

Power cuts have hampered the use of processing machineries for processing and value addition

Subsidy can enhance Drip irrigation for closed spaced crops (veggies) unlike broad spaced crops due to high initial investment

Market linkages forms a crucial link for promotion of enterprises (Milk route with KMF , Ornamental fishery with KFDC and Local private aquarium shops)

Formation of Commodity grower associations will strengthen the backward and forward integration and which empowers the farmers in bargaining power , technical know how through inviting expertise and exposure visits and training programmes and increased resource efficiency

IFS is a Sustainable mixed farming system that consists of at least two separate but logically interdependent parts of a crop/ tree and livestock enterprises ( animal/fish/ birds) where in the output of one should be the input for another enterprises or the bi-product of one will be the food/feed/fodder for another enterprise ultimately satisfying most of his domestic needs, besides giving economic returns.

Mandate/Objectives of the project Achievements made during the 2012-13 Salient results

Identification and promotion of appropriate farming systems and income generating activities to strengthen the livelihood, economic security, equity and social capital

Improved cropping system: Multiple cropping system, INM and IPDM in Ground nut- TMV2, Ragi-GPU28, Cotton-Stephlon, Maize-Hema, Sunflower-KBSH43, Redgram- BRG2, Navane PS-4 and Grain Amaranths (Suvrna) etc, Castor (DCS_9 and 48-1 and fodder crops have taken up in 689 ha

Increase in the productivity level, Employment and Stability of the income

Horticulture and commercial crops/vegetable: INM and IPDM in onion (Arka Kalyan and Satara Red). Taken up in 350 ha

INM and IPDM in Onion proved technically feasible and economically viable. Apart from enhancement in productivity (40- 50 % i.e. from 18 tons to 27.5 tons) and income ( 30-40 % i.e. from 22 to 27.5 tons), it also generated an additional employment of 30 man days per ha Over all benefit from the Project =Rs.69839*100ha*3years = Rs.2.09 crores

Agri –Horticulture (Perennials): Mango, sapota, Lemon, Jackfruit and Tamarind planted and agro-forestry and fodder crops : Melia dubia, Simarouba glauca Sesbania grandiflora , Hybrid Napier and Gyricidia : planted 16000 plants

Accordingly planted (perennials) various horticultural and forestry plants in the main field and as well as along the bunds -16000 plants against 13500 as drought proofing measures and meet the fodder requirement in the summer and to conserve soil and water.

Objective wise activities performed along with salient results

Achievements made during the 2012-13 Salient results

Veterinary care-Animal health improvement: Veterinary health and reproductive care (deworming, FMD vaccination and PPR vaccination and pest management: ticks) is provided to 7500 no’s dairy, non-descriptive animals and small ruminants (Sheep and Goat).

Led to improvement in the productivity of animal interms of increase in the milk yield and weight gain in the case of small ruminants and reduced mortality among the animals

Animal nutrition intervention: Nutritional intervention achieved through the feeding of proper balance feed : local available crop residues along with Sesbania, Napier grass, Melia dubia , mineral mixture and azolla : 200 Households Benefitted

It was observed that the milk yield has doubled (2 liters per day to 4 liters per day) by feeding both azolla and mineral mixture together with the normal feed among the dairy animals and body weight gain in small ruminants.

Income generating activities: Ornamental fisheries & Tank fisheries: Presently there are 70 households growing ornamental individually and also in group.

Individual farm families are getting an additional monthly income of Rs 850 per month by the sale of ornamental fish directly and with set of bowls. The overall estimated benefit to Ornamental fishery growers from 3 years to the tune of 21 lakhs.

Arecanut slicing & chipping and areca leaf plate making unit: Economic analysis has been done for these IGA’s

Areca leaf plate making unit :The net return per annum from areca leaf plate making unit is to the tune processing centre was to the tune of Rs 8.70 lakhs with benefit cost ratio of 2.2 assuming full capacity utilization of the machine and generating 1800 man days per year .

Mandate/Objectives of the project Achievements made during the 2012-13 Salient results

Arecanut Slicing & chipping and Areca leaf plate making unit:

The net returns per annum from processing raw areca nut into slices and chips was to the tune of Rs. 1, 73,083 and 1,25000 respectively with an overall the benefits cost ratio of 1.25 and 1.14 and Generates employment of 96 man days per year .

Other income generating activities encouraged during 2012-13 : Sheep rearing , Tailoring, pottery ,Petty shop, Fruit vending and Masala powder marketing,
