�Community
Outreach and Dissemination for Up-scaling of Small-Plot
Sustainable Cultivation Models: Enhancing Livelihoods of
Resource Poor Sections" |
|
Grant Amount: Rs.15,47,000 |

LEISIC practices and in capacity building, this follow-up
project aims to enhance the food and livelihood security of the
local community by increasing the productivity of marginal lands
and enhancing the biodiversity in the local natural resource
systems. This, they propose to do by developing technically
validated models of LEISIC-based livelihood options such as
backyard gardens and small horticulture plots, and by
disseminating the models of LEISIC through community-based
demonstration plots. The NGO foresees that the project will
ultimately have set up about 20 demo plots in 3 districts, that
will mainly comprise of intensive cultivation of various fruit
trees, vegetables and some other crops. Training will be
provided to people who will serve as Technical Support Persons.
Also, the dissemination activities will culminate in the
formation of Sustainable Cultivators Groups (SCGs), each of
which will consist of people from several households.
