Horticulture-Fruits, Medicinal, aromatic & ornamental plants

For enabling agriculture to become a sustainable livelihood option for small and marginal farmers, Grameen Utsarga will promote Integrated Farming System in the rural area. This approach is all about integrating agriculture and its allied activities for facilitating optimum use of available resources to generate a sustainable livelihood. Horticulture is one such activity that currently we are encouraging farmers for vegetable cultivation and fruit plantation. This will not only provide a dependable source of income to small and marginal farmers but also fulfilling their nutritional requirements. Advanced and area-specific inputs coupled with healthy and sustainable techniques of cultivation will be introduced in the target areas to ensure quantity as well as quality of produce. Some silent features of this intervention will be :

• By introducing advanced and area-specific input for vegetable cultivation, a dependable source of income is being generated for small and marginal farmers in this tribal area.
• Promotion of healthy techniques for cultivation to ensure quality of produce.

There is no denying of the fact that development of entrepreneurship has emerged as a national movement due to its strengths to solve the problems of unemployment and poverty. In fact, the need for development of ‘spirit of enterprise’ among the target population intensified more to percolate the development benefits to the masses at grass-root level. It is against this backdrop, several self-employment and anti-poverty programmes like PMRY, TRYSEM etc., involving some entrepreneurial qualities were introduced by the government as a tool of bottom-up mode of development. However, these programmes executed by the Government agencies proved ineffective due to their weaknesses of one type or other. Grameen Utsarga Foundation
