| Abstract/Description: | Family farms produce 80 percent of world’s food from 70.80 percent of farm land. By 2050 food grain production needs to grow 330 MT per year. The small family farms are ecological and play a big role in promoting food security and nutritional support. In the state of Kerala, the average land holding size is only 0.2ha. Mostly, they are coconut based homesteads. The biggest challenge faced by small farmers is making them profitable. Thus, the focus of Farmer FIRST Programme (FFP) in Pathiyoor panchayath promoted since 2016 by Indian Council of Agricultural Research – Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kayamkulam was on integrating technologies for improving farm livelihoods and incomes. This was to be done through participatory interventions in crop, horticulture, livestock, natural resource management, value addition and IFS among 1000 farm families. |
| Description: | Value addition can be achieved through simple practices. Cooperation, coordination, convergence, inclusiveness of communities and handholding by a premier research institute resulted in successful social innovation in Pathiyoor Panchayat region in Kerala. |
