The document summarizes the progress and achievements of the SRI-T program between 2006-2012. It reports that the program expanded from 2 states and 14 districts in 2006-07 to 11 states and 94 districts in 2011-12, working with over 127 partners and reaching over 1 million farmers. The average land coverage by farmers increased from 0.22 acres to 0.35 acres. The program aims to promote SRI techniques to small farmers to increase household food security through demonstrations and training local experts. Results from one farmer showed SRI yielding 105kg/0.1 acre more than conventional methods in the first year and 230kg/0.2 acres more in the second year, providing 24-54 additional days of rice consumption
The Livolink Foundation annual report summarizes activities from April 2011 to March 2012. It oversaw the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and Diversion Based Irrigation (DBI) programs, reaching over 150,000 farmers across 11 states. The SRI program saw a 47.6% average yield increase over conventional practices. It also conducted research and disseminated other System of Crop Intensification innovations. The DBI program focuses on gravity-fed irrigation in hilly, forested areas to improve food security.
- Garhwal Vikas Kendra (GVK) is a non-profit organization established in 1988 in Uttarakhand, India that works on livelihood improvement and other development projects.
- GVK has implemented the System of Crop Intensification (SCI), a method of increasing crop yields, since 2007. SCI adoption by farmers has increased from 1 farmer in 2006-07 to over 5,600 farmers and 337 hectares in 2011-12.
- In 2011-12, GVK's target was 6,000 SCI farmers and 2,000 farmers adopting the System of Wheat Intensification (SWI), another SCI method. The targets for SCI were achieved but S
This document summarizes an annual meeting on organic sustainable rice intensification (SRI) partnerships in Odisha, India. It discusses the need to promote sustainable food production in light of climate change and food insecurity. The United Artists' Association (UAA) mobilized over 2,000 small and marginal farmers to adopt organic SRI practices, increasing rice yields while reducing costs. Organic SRI increased production to 1795 kg compared to 1125 kg from conventional methods, with total costs of Rs. 5,885 compared to Rs. 7,304 conventionally. The document concludes the government is now acknowledging the benefits of organic and ecological farming.
This document summarizes a project conducted over 3 phases from 2009-2012 to promote the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technique in Manipur, India. The project worked with 14 partner organizations across 9 districts to train over 4,600 farmers across 3,800 acres. Key activities included training coordinators, promoters, and farmers. The project achieved increased productivity, food security, and modernized rice cultivation techniques. It also created awareness of eco-friendly agriculture and built capacity of local partners and farmers to continue SRI extension. Challenges included timely funding, natural disasters, lack of equipment, and acceptance by hill farmers. The project positively impacted food security, productivity, and agriculture practices in the region.
The document summarizes experiences with the System of Root Intensification (SRI) method of crop cultivation in Gaya and Nalanda districts of Bihar, India. It finds that SRI methods increase yields for crops like rice, wheat, rapeseed, and sugarcane compared to traditional methods. Key steps in SRI include treatments to seeds before sowing, wider spacing of plants, and reduced seed/planting material usage. SRI cultivation lowers costs per quintal of production compared to traditional methods and increases incomes for farmers.
This document discusses addressing food security in the Western Himalayan region of India through the System of Crop Intensification (SCI). SCI is based on the principles of SRI for rice but adapted for other crops. Initial trials from 2006-2008 saw yield increases of over 60% for wheat, finger millet, and kidney beans compared to conventional practices. Further trials from 2009-2010 expanded SCI to additional crops like maize, black gram, and soybean, also achieving average yield gains of over 45%. The document outlines the recommended SCI practices and principles as well as results that demonstrate SCI can significantly improve food production and livelihoods in the food deficit states of the region.
Society for Integrated Social Upliftment (SISU) has been working since 2008 to promote sustainable rice intensification (SRI) and other crops in Jharkhand. It has worked with over 4,000 farmers across 52 villages, covering over 1,900 acres. The organization coordinates with the District Agriculture Department, including providing subsidized fertilizers to farmers who register for its programs. SISU has expanded its efforts to include other crops beyond rice, such as wheat and the winter crop SWI. It holds farm field schools to teach improved cultivation techniques to farmers.
This document summarizes the Society for Promotion of Wastelands Development's work promoting System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Jharkhand and West Bengal between 2005-2011. Key points include:
1) Coverage of SRI expanded from 1600 farmers cultivating 641 acres in 2008 to 34,000 farmers and 12,000 acres by 2011.
2) Productivity increases averaged 60-85% through use of SRI techniques.
3) Strategies used included farmer training, seed treatment, certified seeds, green manuring, and exposure visits.
4) Government policy initiatives included promotion of SRI in state agriculture policies and programs.
The document describes the Garuda Paddy Weeder, a powered weeding solution for rice paddies. It notes that manual weeding is very labor-intensive and costly, while existing mechanized options like cono weeders are also laborious and slow. The Garuda Paddy Weeder addresses these issues with a 1.75 HP engine, ergonomic design for single-operator use, hardened rotating blades, and ability to cover land four times faster than manual weeding. Test results and field usage show it requires low maintenance while achieving high weeding efficiency and low crop damage compared to other options.

Results from one farmer showed SRI yielding more rice compared to conventional methods, providing over two months more food security.
The document summarizes the Systems of Crop Intensification (SCI) program implemented by Trust Microfin Network (TMN) to strengthen livelihoods of small farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It provides data on the pilot program in 2010 covering 87 farmers across 18 villages, which found average yields increased by 46.3% using SCI techniques. The program then expanded in 2011 to cover over 1,400 farmers across 74 villages. Key challenges included low adoption rates, ensuring repeat use of techniques, availability of farm implements, and developing a cadre of local resource persons to promote adoption.
