This project is being implemented with a network involving 5 Farmer Producer Orgnisation and 10 Women SHGs in the districts of Dharwad, Belagavi, Haveri and Mysore of Karnataka, Transformation with the link between producers and consumers. The project is designed to offer an integrated solution to small and marginal farmers by developing concept of model farms of 4guntas(60x60m) area. These plots are crafted with mix species – oil seeds, pulses, green manuring, cereals, vegetables which provide sustainability to farming families. The dividing line has to be planted with green manure crops and plots bordered with fruit trees. These ensure food supply while diversification in production and diets, improving on nutrition security and reducing adverse environmental impacts.
