Use cases like these lead to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint associated with the production and widespread usage of chemicals. In addition, organic fertilisers promote better water retention and reduce the water requirement. Reduced water equals less pumping required, and lower carbon emissions. \n\n**Integrated Farming Systems:** Encouraging the integration of livestock rearing with crop cultivation reduces fertilizer utilization and curtails GHG emissions.

Our vision is to empower farmers with actionable knowledge and skills mainly for _sustainable livestock rearing_ and _organic farming_. Notably, the project addresses the significant contribution of livestock rearing and farming to global greenhouse gas emissions, which currently stands at approximately **10%** of the total emissions.\n>Manure from livestock is the most important component that we have forgotten in modern agriculture. It maintains the organic content in the soil, and is what differentiates it from sand. \n\n![Different b/w Chemical Fertilizer and Manure](https://i.postimg.cc/bryJFnHt/KU1.png)\n\n\n## Current Status:\n\n![Livestock Rearing Practicals](https://i.postimg.cc/HxwxWzsK/1.png)\nTo date, the project has witnessed the active participation of 270 trainees (185 male, 85 female) in Livestock Rearing practical training program. The modules cover a gamut of best practices for:\n- Intricacies of housing\n- Dehorning\n- Castration\n- Treatment of calves\n- Precision in clean milk production\n- Advanced breeding management \n- Proactive disease prevention\n\nThis program will provide the necessary tools to the farmer so that they can maintain livestock on their farm in an _easy, profitable and environmentally friendly manner._ \n![Organic Growers Practicals](https://i.postimg.cc/15yCJzx1/7.png)\nAn additional 163 trainees underwent the Organic Growers Practical Training Program, featuring hands-on demonstrations of:\n- Soil Management\n- Crop Management\n- Pest & Disease Management \n- Post Harvest Handling\n- Environmental Stewardship\n\n## Immediate Future Plan:\n\nBuilding on these humble achievements, the project is poised for an \n- **Expansive outreach** through training sessions: The target is to reach 600 people in the next 4 months. \n- Carry out **further research** on best techniques to retain organic matter in soil. The emphasis will be on preparing organic indigenous fertilisers made of manure, promoting self-sufficiency. \n- Creation of **knowledge-sharing platform**\nSet up a **Farmer Innovation Hub** that shall serve as a collaborative space where local farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, and agricultural researchers converge to co-create solutions, share insights, and collectively address challenges. The hub would eventually comprise of knowledge exchange workshops, seed and resource exchange programs, skill enhancement programs, community driven research initiatives and digital commons platforms.  \n![Theory Class](https://i.postimg.cc/FKK8HHFQ/9.png)\n\n\n## Potential difficulties / risks for the Farmer Field Schools\n\n- Knowledge gaps amongst the farmers\n- Resistance to change from farmers\n- Fear of losing out on productivity\n- Difficulty in talking about environment with poor farmers\n- Current vulnerability in the climate\n\n_**Team:**_ Mrs. Ranjini M (Project Coordinator), a progressive organic farmer with hands-on experience in innovative techniques. And Mr. Suri, a seasoned veterinarian with expertise in sustainable livestock management.
