PROJECT: SUSTAINABLE FARMING

SOLUTION

Our solution for this to advanced agricultural practices, such as multi-cropping, can optimize land use and income sources, boost productivity, enhance soil fertility, reduce pest risks, and improve climate resilience. Sustainable farming techniques, like organic inputs and climate-resilient crop varieties, strengthen agricultural systems, secure livelihoods, and transform agricultural productivity for a prosperous future.

CHALLENGE

Dattapukur's agricultural community faces a crisis due to low productivity, outdated techniques, poor soil quality, and lack of access to modern tools. Crop yields decline, and erratic weather and inadequate irrigation infrastructure exacerbate the situation. The lack of support for innovation and market linkages isolates the farming community, making them vulnerable to poverty and food insecurity.

Our farming project in Dattapukur is a live demonstration of collaboration between technology, science, and local knowledge. The key stakeholders here are Harit Vikas Technologies, Dr. Tapan Kumar Pal (agricultural expert), and local farmer Pradip Paul.

We've successfully sown okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) as the primary crop.

We are planning to interplant brinjal (Solanum melongena) between the okra rows to optimize land use and biodiversity

Dr. Pal continues to provide scientific expertise to make the model both climate-resilient and farmer-friendly.

This integrated approach is designed to promote Responsible Consumption and Production – through sustainable practices like intercropping and material reuse, directly contributing to SDGs 12.
