This was extended in 2013 to 110 farmers from nine villages, who tested a wide range of options in a total of 192 trials, involving options for increasing fodder production.

However, this approach needs strong the evaluation of new farming systems. With this in mind, ICRISAT–WCA helped improve the approach in, for example, intercropping trials.  
