This report elucidates the opportunities that exist for livestock and forage
development in the East India Rainfed Farming Project areas in Ranchi
district of Bihar in India. The various steps in the Agricultural Research for
Development (ARD) approach followed and, the different participatory
tools that were employed for gathering information are described in
detail.
The farming households from three clusters are typologised into three farm
types based on their livestock holding pattern. The changes in the agroecosystems in the study villages from the past to the present brought out
through agro-ecosystem mapping are described in detail. The partners
who were responsible for these changes are identified. The visions of
different types of farming households about the desired future farming
models are elaborated. The stakeholders whom the households consider
as potential partners who can help them realize their future visions are
identified. The results of the brainstorming exercise done involving the
farming households, researchers and development workers on the
alternative pathways to realize their visions to develop farm models for the
three types are described and discussed. The report gives the desired
future farming system models for each of the farm types.
The plausible research and development options are identified and
targeted for each farm type. They are then subjected to a process of
screening for environmental sustainability, social equity and economic
competitiveness. The process and the results are elaborated in the report.
The report gives the organizational linkages required to implement some
of the important screened options, roles of each of the organizations
involved and action plans to achieve the same. The report ends with the
training needs identified for the development workers and communities
and the areas identified for adaptive and new research.
