Technologies / Innovations:
Sustainable Intensification and
Systems Approaches
Natural Resource Management:
Soil Health/Cover Crops: Promoting diversified systems for rice-fallows to improve soil
health – particularly quantifying the benefits of cover crops in rice -fallows; Diversification:
Improving crop diversity (both field and vegetable crops) will help with overall productivity;
Wild Gardens: Using underutilized native/wild crops for nutrition and income .
Cropping Systems Management:
Pest Management: Using grafting to improve disease resistance in vegetable production
systems (e.g. tomato and eggplant); Cover Crops: Evaluating and promoting best mix of cover
crops in rice-fallows to improve yields and soil health; Conservation Agriculture: Promoting
principles of conversation agriculture and drip irrigation to improve resource use efficiency
and economic yields of commercial home garden.
Livestock Systems Management:
Multipurpose Crops: Evaluating impact of multi-purpose crops (particularly wild, and
neglected and underutilized species) as animal feed; Aquatic Feed Systems: Improved
methods of aquatic feed systems – particularly for fish.
Human Condition:
Human Nutrition: Quantifying the nutrient analyses of various indigenous and wild species of
annual and perennial crops (e.g. Vegetable fern and Acacia) for micronutrients; Women's
Empowerment: Organizing women's groups for collective farming and marketing; Human
Drudgery: Mechanization opportunities to minimize human labor and drudgery.
Mechanization:
Seeder/ Transplanter: Evaluating different types of seeders, transplanters and fertilizer
application methods to improve efficiency; Roller Crimpers: Evaluating mechanical methods
of harvesting and incorporating cover crops and planting under minimum/no-till systems;
Service Provision: Organizing and training farmer groups and private entrepreneurs to
provide services to farmers and larger communities.
Geospatial Tools:
Land Use Mapping: Developing and tracking land use changes using time-series geospatial
databases; Cropland Database: Monitoring changes in cropland and crop health using
imaging technologies; Climate Change Impacts: Understanding and modeling the impacts of
climate change on the productivity of important food crops and water resources.
