Non-Farm
Farm-based activities
Our efforts are aimed towards betterment of farm-based practices and training people in efficient
agricultural methods, this will enable community to provide for themselves a sustainable way of life.
NF essence remains the same: to provide basic services to those who need them. We extend our hand in support of various agricultural resources, providing protection, assisting in research spheres, employing latest techniques, controlling pest and facilitating diversities within the purview of farm-based activities.
Goals of NF in farm-based activities development
- Livelihood Enhancement: By creatively marketing “value-added” cultivated and wild agricultural biodiversity.
- Conservation: Conserve and promote increased reliance on biodiversity-based ecological agriculture, as foundations for endogenous growth and development of rural communities.
- Sustainable production: link the natural elements—soil, water, air, sunlight, and seed—to ensure enough of nutritious food and other basic community needs.
- Gender-sensitive: Create a gender-sensitive environment that enhances women’s leadership skills.
- Skill development: Working on skill development to empower farmers with new skills.
- Digital marketing of produce: To help farmers by showing the right channel of market and contacting digitally.
-
Creating awareness: Taking active role in creating awareness on different government schemes & techniques.
Promoting developed innovative distribution methods, relying on farmer-to-farmer contact, whether on a group or individual basis.
Advocate in developing rapport with farmers to allow them to draw on local knowledge systems in the design of technological options and to strengthen such systems by ensuring that the technologies developed are reintegrated into them.
Non-farming activities
An alternative to farming activities and creating better employment opportunities in the rural sector as well.
NF plays a vital role in providing employment facilities to small-scale farm household and to the rural-urban migrating population. Not only would it contribute to the overall GNI (Gross National Income), but it would also act as a financial aid for the rural population, whose main income is vested in agriculture.
NF is promoting Non-farming activities in its focus areas, which include various ventures like handicrafts, household as well as non-household small-scale manufacturing, construction, mining, quarrying, repair, transport, community service etc.
Goals of NF in non-farm activities development
- Creating economic stability: rural non-farming activities play a major role in creating employment in the population.
- Prevent migration: Our approach is such that, non-farming activities may prevent the migration of many rural people from rural to urban spaces, due to lack of employment opportunity.
- Bridging gaps: when employment opportunities go beyond the dominant agricultural economy, our brotherhood with community helps to bridge the urban-rural economic lacuna.
- Employment opportunity: Rural non-farm activities incur less capital and employ a larger percentage of manpower/ labour.
- Equal income distribution: The rural spaces having the rural non-farming industries are seen to have much lesser unequal income distribution, compared to rural areas with the facility of farming industries.
