  16. From Agragamee… Selection Criteria: 1. Farmers with tenured land ( exception- Gunnar) 2. Rainfed Area 3. Feasibility- based on quality of land. CAPS conditions: • No chemical fertilizer as the entire zone is declared an organic farming zone. • No pesticide and herbicide • Use of bio-pesticide preferred • Use vermi-composte and other traditional manure as there are good substitutes for P&K. • Organic inputs as defined by Indian traditional farming systems (PS: Organic CAPS has been tried and successful. Reference provided by Vidhya- Miguel Altiri & Stephen Gleesman). Concerns: -Clarity of Roles – Agragamee’s role ( eg: Local Mobilization) , UH Role etc. -How to provide support to the remaining farmers to bring up their land potential as part of CAPS up-scaling?
