  1. 8th National Conference on KVK 2013 Bengaluru 23-25 October 2013 Accelerating Income through Resource Utilization under Integrated Farming Models for Small holders Dr Aurovinda Das Programme Coordinator KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRA BHADRAK

  2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF BHADRAK DISTRICT • 12thmost populous district of the state • Supports 3.6 % human and 3.5 % animal population of the state with only 1.6 % of the geographical area • Rural population : 90.06 % of total population of the district • 72.90 % Rural population depend on agriculture and allied sector for their livelihood

  3. VULNERABILITY MAP OF BHADRAK BONTH BASUDEVPUR BHADRAK TIHIDI BHANDARIPOKHARI DHAMNAGAR CHANDBALI

  4. Agro Climatic Zone North Eastern Coastal Plain Zone AGRICULTURE SCENARIO OF BHADRAK DISTRICT Agro Eco Situations • Alluvial Canal Irrigated • Low lying flood prone • Saline Soil Group Total geographical area 2,70,164 ha Total cultivable area 1,76,000 ha Irrigated area 65 % (Kharif) 20.6 % ( Rabi) Cropping intensity 132.6% Land types

  5. LAND HOLDING PATTERN OF THE DISTRICT Distribution of land holding Per cent of Total Land holding Share of Area

  6. MAJOR CROPPING SYSTEMS

  7. FISHERIES & ANIMAL RESOURCES Inland Fisheries Resources Animal Resources

  8. District Agriculture -Threats and Concerns Deteriorating resource base Fragmented Land holding Climatic aberrations and occurrence of extreme events Low irrigation facilities during rabi Biotic stresses such as disease & insect pest outbreak Declining farm profitability and large scale urban migration High cost of external inputs and labour scarcity Distress sale of farm produce particularly rice Menace of stray cattle & monkey

  9. WHY SMALL HOLDERS ARE VULNERABLE ?? Limited resource base (Natural and Physical) Low profitability and marketable surplus Less scope for diversification Limited access to technology, credit and market Less capital for asset building Low adaptability to external shocks Low risk bearing ability Subsistence orientation Lack of awareness about the Govt. schemes & programs Low social recognition in community decision making processes

  10. LIVELIHOOD IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS FOR SMALL HOLDERS Intensification of existing production system Integration of suitable components in a farming system approach Encouragement of off-farm & non-farm activities to supplement the family income Market re-orientation through diversification of production system and processing of farm produces These options under the umbrella of Integrated Farming System approach can sustain the livelihoods of small holder

  11. Ensuring Food and Nutritional security Resource Utilisation Residue Recycling Employment Generation Enhancement in Income OBJECTIVES OF IFS

  12. STRATEGY FOLLOWED BY KVK TO PROMOTE INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM S FOR SMALL HOLDERS Identification of existing pond based farming systems Analyzing the economics, social and component compatibility, resource use, residue recycling and constraints Technology intervention for maximizing the out put of individual components and optimizing system productivity Assessing the sustainability of the farming systems and documentation of threats and constraints Validating the suitability of the situation specific pond based farming system models at different locations Creating gainful employment opportunity through processing and value addition Convergence and institutional linkage for strengthening and horizontal spread of the technology

  13. PROCESS ADOPTED BY KVK

  14. MAJOR INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEMS OF THE DISTRICT Pond based integrated farming system is found to be more feasible and profitable

  15. POSSIBILITIES OF ENTERPRISE COMBINATION FOR SMALL HOLDERS EXISTING SCOPE FOR INTEGRATION SCOPE FOR EXPANSION

  16. PISCICULTURE PROMISING ENTERPRISES MUSHROOM

  17. OPPORTUNITY FOR PISCICULTURE IN THE DISTRICT EXISTENCE OF PONDS NEAR HOUSE UNUTILISED POND

  18. OPPORTUNITIES FOR POND BASED FARMING SYSTEM Out of total of 18247 cultivable ponds , 15277 ponds situated in backyard are small with an average area of 0.18 ha are mostly under utilized Additional 11475 small ponds developed through MGNREGS and Multi-purpose Farm pond schemes Requirement of 1986 MT of fish in the district considering the internal fish demand there is an additional

  19. MUSHROOM PRODUCTIONAn emerging off-farm enterprise of the district Strength of the enterprise Opportunities for the enterprise • Low investment, minimum infrastructure requirement and simple cultivation technique • Higher return within a small period of time • Huge availability of paddy straw • Established value chain • Good network of service providers for input, technology and market • Huge market demand both inside and outside the district • Efficient use of farm resources (paddy straw) and family labour • Scope for processing and value addition • Attractive to unemployed youths and farm women • Technology validated for off-season production

  20. Growth of Mushroom enterprise • 1380 growers producing 40.8 q mushroom per day providing employment to 3640 rural youth and farm women • More than 86 commercial mushroom growers and 52 SHGs engaged in mushroom production and value addition under the technical guidance of KVK • A mushroom growers’ association formed and strengthened by KVK to promote mushroom as an enterprise in a big way • This enterprise is mostly adopted by the resource poor small holders

  21. COMPONENTS OF POND BASED FARMING SYSTEM Vegetable cultivation on the dyke Banana cultivation Tuber crops on pond bund Fruits on pond bund Vermicompost production Apiculture Poultry Dairy Duckery

  22. Resource recycling in pond based farming system

  23. APPROACHES FOR SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATON OF IFS • INTENSIFICATION OF EXISTING FARMING SYSTEM • INTEGRATION OF SUITABLE COMPONENTS

Demonstration, Farm School, Exposure visit & Publication KVK Development of multi-purpose farm ponds, Supply of quality fish seeds etc. Vaccination of Poultry Birds, Ducks & Dairy Animals, Animal Health Camp, Supply of Fodder Seed materials Awareness generation , Facilitation INSTITUTIONAL LINKAGE FOR UP SCALING POND BASED FARMING SYSTEM NABARD Dept. of Agriculture & Horticulture ATMA Capacity building & Exposure visit Technology dissemination, Supply of quality seed & planting materials, development of farm ponds & irrigation facility etc. Animal Resource Department Fishery Department NGOs & Farmers Club

  41. OUTCOMES & IMPACT • Ensured livelihood and nutritional security of more than 320 smallholders of the district • Created gainful employment for more than 1000 persons round the year and further widen the opportunity for unemployed youth and agriculture labourers • Intensification of farming systems of marginal and small farmers with minimum alteration of existing resource base • Enabled multi-commodity production for easy marketing and risk reduction • Created favourable attitudinal changes among the rural youths towards farming as a vocation • Effective convergence with line departments and strengthening co-ordination among the partners

  42. LESSON LEARNT • Improvement of the productivity of existing enterprise • Enterprise combination is gradual process • Better utilisation of resources and recycling of farm residues • Social factor is the key for enterprise selection and combination • Constant monitoring and regular technical backstopping • Market led production ensures profitability • Fish seed production is more remunerative than table size fish production • Poultry (Improved colour bird) and duckery facing natural threat of wild cat • Up scaling through convergence with line departments

  43. FUTURE STRATEGY • Development of viable farming system models for marginal farmers with very small holding • Standardization of different pond based farming system models for different categories of farmers through on-farm validation • Inclusion of this approach in the SREP and CDAP of the district as an important strategic component • Facilitate accelerated dissemination of technology though handholding approach • Exploring more areas of convergence with different stakeholders and programmes
