When any species or cultivar is lost the centuries old traditional knowledge about the same also disappear. It disbalances the mountain agro-ecosystem, farm sustainability and food security.

Traditional cultivars have superior traits vis-a-via HYVs: in terms of yield, survival in harsh geo-climatic conditions at high altitudes, resistance to water stress/pathogens, total time of crop cycle, adaptation to local climates & farmers’ socio-economic situations, nutrition value, input-requirements, weed coexistence, etc.

Technical interventions : • Formation of Farmers’ Committees at gram panchayat level • Promotion of exchange of seeds of traditional cultivars • On-farm Training & Counseling of farmers on Organic Production of traditional crops • Exposure of farmers to organic farming site • On-farm Training of farmers on Quality Control and Post-Harvest Storage • Providing on-field technical inputs of organic cultivation, such as - • - manipulations in humus levels according to soil types • - testing of nutrients in the soil and balancing them • - planning the crop rotation and crop cycle • - assistance in planning intercropping, storey culture and cover crops • - use of compost, manure and bio-fertilizers • - compost making and vermicompost • - water harvesting and soil conservation • - treatment, storage and selection of seeds of traditional cultivars • - biological weed control, and bio-pesticides • - other necessary technical inputs
