Community Managed
Organic Farming System
In Rainfed Areas
(Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty)

Non Pesticidal Management
Main Objective
•
•
•
•
•
To sustain agriculture based livelihoods
Special focus on small and marginal farmers, Women, tenants, agriculture workers
Technology
- Local natural resource based
- Knowledge centric than product centric, hence support only in the form of
knowledge
- Community Resource Persons
Management
Community managed (SHGs)-financial and personnel
Program Strategies
•
•
Reducing cost of cultivation by adopting practices which involve low or no
expenditure
Resource persons to provide regular technical support in the village
• Program anchored and regularly reviewed by the Federation of SHGs at
village,
mandal and district level

Impact of Savings on Livelihoods
• Reclaimed the Land from mortgage
• SF / MF taken additional lands on lease for NPM cultivation
• Big farmers are preferring NPM, SF / MF for share - cropping to
save their investment on inputs

Organic Farming Systems – Operational Strategies
Main Issues
1. Non Pesticidal Management
Adoption rate
07-08
Operational Strategies
 Farmers training in concepts of ecological
systems.

Integration - all suitable management
techniques preventing pests , reaching
damaging proportions.
 Identifying insect pests/predators – life
cycles

Restoring Natural Ecological balance


Making best use of natural resources,
locally available
Through FFS
more than 50%
Farmers developing pest calendars
 Adopting various NPM methods like –

–

–
Agronomic – summer plowing
– 80%
Seed treatment – Ash, cow urine, trichoderma viridae - 30%

Issues
 To make available good
quality seed, locally, in time,
affordable price.
 Focus – selection, saving, reusing, maintenance, good
quality seed
Strategies
 Matrix of farmers preferences vis
a vis yield, price premium, pest and
diseases tolerance, Traditional and
improved.
 Training of farmers – seed saving,
production and maintenance
 Demonstration of new varieties –
for specific pest/disease/soil related
problems
 Identifying, planning, employment
and income generating activities

• Increasing crop and genetic
diversity
 Inoculation with Azospirellum,.
Azotobactor etc
 Biomass plantation – bunds,

 Increasing cropping
 Pulses as inter crop

Evolving Suitable Institutional Systems
V.O. (SHG),
Federation of SHGs at Mandal / District level.

At village level farmers organised into small (Homogenaus)
Organic farmer groups (Sasya Mitra Sanghas) Operate Organic farmer field school (Sendriya Polam Badi)

Federate at Village Level as collectives
Organise production
Internal Quality Control (PGS)

Federation of these collectives
Take up Marketing Activities with the help of VOs

Village Resource Centre:
builds capacities to farmers, agriculture workers, small entrepreneurs involving pre-production and post production processes.
