  1. Harmonizing biodiversity conservation and agricultural intensification through integration of plant, animal and fish genetic resources for livelihood security in fragile ecosystemsComponent 3 (SRLS). Project Code: 30036 Lead consortium NBPGR, New Delhi Consortium Partners NBAGR, Karnal; NBFGR, Lucknow; CSKHPKV, Palampur; MPUAT, Udaipur; ANGRAU, Hyderabad; APSBDB, Hyderabad; SevaMandir, Udaipur • Budget (revised) :Rs. 937.58 Lakhs(2010-13) • Date of Sanction : 10 September 2009 • Fund release : 22 January 2010

  2. Objectives • Assessment, documentation and valuation of on- farm agro-biodiversity for livelihood and food security • Assessment of economic potential of target species vis-a-viscost and effect of conservation • Development of an information management system to facilitate planned intervention for conservation, sustainable utilization of targeted species/ population and enhanced market access • Adding value to targeted species/populations through technological interventions for enhancing rural livelihood security • Capacity building in agro-biodiversity management for livelihood security

  3. Critical gaps • How can biodiversity be mainstreamed in production landscapes? • How do initiatives, such as training in sustainable harvesting, affect the capacity of small scale or subsistence producers to utilize threatened habitats without inflicting further harm? • How can local bio-resources be linked to market and economic development of rural poor? • How are intellectual property rights important to conservation and the sustainable use of biodiversity? • How have past changes in agricultural biodiversity affected rural livelihoods and nutritional security? • What are the impacts of climate change on agricultural biodiversity and loss of agricultural biodiversity on adaptability to climate change?

  4. Interventions to bridge these gaps • Inventory of local bioresources and prioritizing diversity and farming systems for “add value” interventions • Investigating different options for “adding value” to plant, animal and fish populations in a given social, economic and ecological context through: • Improving the material • Improved farmer access to genetic materials • Increasing consumer demand for products • Other interventions and management support to local resources • Rain water harvesting structures • Vermicomposting • Animal health and nutrient management • Fisheries related interventions including ornamental fish culture, etc.

  5. Status on Recruitment of Contractual Services for the Year 2010-11, 2011-12 (HYR)

  6. Objective wise promised deliverables

  7. Genetic resources for “add-value” intervention

  8. Red rice Chambarajmash Malan maize Local sorghum Ongole bull Sirohi goat Gaddi sheep Desi poultry

  9. Improved farmers' access to genetic materials • CBRs • Community Genebanks • Diversity fairs Community Seedbank at Som village Udaipur

  10. Increasing consumer demand • Adding value through processing • Organic farming Hulled red rice Packaged rajmash Value added milk product (khowa) Maize (Malan) Papad Popped sorghum

  11. Product Features • Himalayan whole grain rice, imported from Bhutan • Grown at 8,000 feet, irrigated with glacier water • Cooks in only 20 minutes • Complex nutty flavor, beautiful russet color • Soft texture, handcrafted, heirloom rice, grown without pesticides and herbicides This rice became available in the United States in the mid 1990s when Lotus Foods began importing it

  12. Other interventions/innovative technologies Vermicompost unit Compost ready for sale Fisheries interventions at Udaipur and Adilabad Vaccination camp Polylined tanks at Chamba Pond technology at Adilabad

  13. Status of Procurement of major items, Funds Released, Utilized and % utilization

  14. No. of meetings held CIC: 4 1st CIC Meeting 21 March, 2010 at NBPGR, New Delhi 2nd CIC meeting 19th January 2011 at NBPGR, New Delhi 3rd CIC meeting 23-24 March, 2011at MPUAT, Udaipur 4th CIC meeting 13th Sept. 2011 at NBPGR, New Delhi CMU: 2 1st CMU Meeting 27th Oct 2009 at NBPGR, New Delhi 2nd CMU Meeting 23-24 March, 2011at MPUAT, Udaipur CAC: 4 1st CAC meeting 21March, 2010 at NBPGR, New Delhi 2nd CAC meeting 19th January 2011 at NBPGR, New Delhi 3rd CAC meeting 23-24 March, 2011at MPUAT, Udaipur 4th CAC meeting 13th Sept. 2011 at NBPGR, New Delhi • Synergy with on-going programmes • Attempts underway to include local resources in agricultural extension packages • Collaboration with State Biodiversity Boards on issues related to farmer empowerment • Sustainability funds generated: Rs. 70, 544

  15. E&S framework developed and implemented

  16. Success stories/ up-scaled technologies UMMB distributed to farmers at Chamba (H.P.)

  17. Farm pond technology at Adilabad

  18. Key performance indicators

  19. Publications • Bulletins/ Manuals: 7 • Leaflets/ handouts: 6 • Brochure: 4 • Survey Proforma: 3 • Popular articles: 1 • Research papers: 2 (communicated) • Video films 2 • News-paper clippings: 24

  20. Major constraints • Difficulty in documenting impact assessment of various interventions on daily basis (provision of hiring local level Field Assistants) • Documenting unique diversity (additional funding for quality analysis from referral/ established labs.) • Community interventions: Difficulty in forming SHGs/ BMCs/ Cooperatives • Marketing interventions- provision of hiring consultant for developing marketing model • Sustainability funds - Limited opportunity • Monitoring mechanisms for sustainability of interventions
