Description Doubling farm income by 2020 is one of the most targeted goals for agriculture research and development sector. All India data reveals that more than 80% of the farmers in India are small and marginal. It is also an indication, that major portion of the agriculture production in India are from these small farms. The ‘success mantra’ of the small farms of Kerala state with an average land holding size of 0.2 hectare is the multiple diversity models achieved through innovations of the farming community evolved over time.
Indian Council of Agricultural Research- Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (ICAR-CPCRI) has been implementing several outreach and participatory extension research programme among farming community. Under its ‘Farmers FIRST’ programme (FFP), case studies of small farmers in Pathiyoor panchayath, Alappuzha district were documented. The salient characteristics of small farms were found to be blending diversity of innovations in crops and enterprises. Homestead farming in Kerala is a time tested model, matured through generations and experiential learning. ‘Purayida Krishi’ in Malayalam language, literally means ‘farming in the space around home for family’. Hence it could be termed as ‘small farms by the farm family for the farm family’ sticking to the natural and ecological norms. Mrs. Indira, Kandathiltharayil, Pathiyoor East, Alappuzha is an enterprising model woman farmer of the Farmer FIRST program (FFP) embracing enterprise diversity in integrated farming system (IFS).
