130220 out of Pesticide trap: Learning from NPM experiences in APRamanjaneyulu GV
This document summarizes the experience of non-pesticidal management (NPM) in Andhra Pradesh, India. It notes that Andhra Pradesh was heavily dependent on pesticides, which led to pest problems, pesticide resistance, health issues, and ecological damage. NPM was introduced as an alternative, ecological approach using monitoring, prevention, and natural control methods. Studies found NPM reduced costs and increased yields and incomes compared to pesticide use. The program expanded across the state, covering over 3.5 million acres by 2009. NPM helped reduce farmer suicides and hospitalizations from pesticide poisoning. The success of NPM in Andhra Pradesh has influenced national policy and expansion of similar programs to other states.

- NIRMAN is a grassroots environmental group working on conservation, ecological agriculture, and sustainable livelihoods through literacy programs.
- They are implementing several "System of..." initiatives including the Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) which promotes growing sugarcane with less inputs and water using techniques like nursery raising, wider spacing, and organic nutrient management.
- SSI aims to address problems sugarcane farmers face like rising costs, low yields, water depletion, and climate vulnerabilities. It has led to higher yields, lower costs, and additional incomes from intercropping compared to conventional practices.
The document discusses NIRMAN's Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) in Odisha, India. SSI promotes more productive sugarcane cultivation using less water, seeds, and inputs through practices like raising nurseries, transplanting young seedlings in wider rows, and integrated nutrient management. Farmers adopting SSI achieved higher yields of over 46 tons/acre compared to 32 tons/acre from conventional methods. The initiative has expanded from 1 district in 2009 to involve over 600 farmers across 6 districts and 350 acres by 2012.
The document summarizes PRADAN's experience promoting System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technology with small and marginal farmers in Chhattisgarh, India. [1] In the 2011-2012 period, the project worked with 13 NGOs across 11 districts to train over 10,000 farmers on SRI techniques. [2] On average, SRI fields saw a yield increase to 6.46 metric tons per hectare compared to traditional yields of 2.1 metric tons. [3] This doubling of productivity helps ensure food security for participant families for 8-9 months of the year rather than just 3-6 months previously.
This document summarizes a project implemented by Lok Prerna- Samadhan to ensure food security through the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method in several districts of Jharkhand, India. The project strengthened local organizations, focused on tribal women, and expanded SRI to remote hungry areas. Over 1,696 farmers across 104 villages adopted SRI across several partner organizations. SRI methods yielded 46-61 tillers per hill compared to 11-15 for traditional methods, and higher grain weights and numbers. Challenges included rainfall and irrigation issues. Lessons learned emphasized demonstration training and regular farmer knowledge enhancement. The organization aims to apply SRI to more crops and areas to ensure food security for 15,
This document summarizes the key changes in Indian agriculture over recent decades:
1) Agricultural practices have shifted to high external input models focused on monocropping, increased chemical usage, and irrigated farming over rainfed.
2) Economic policies have led to decreasing subsidies, rising input costs, and non-remunerative prices paid to farmers.
3) Farmers have lost access to productive resources as land and water are increasingly alienated, tenant farming has risen, and seeds have become proprietary technologies.
4) These changes have negatively impacted farmers' incomes and livelihoods as costs rise and returns fall, leading to indebtedness and poverty among large portions of rural populations.
Presented by Tigabu Araya at the IPMS Workshop on Alternatives for Improving Field AI Delivery System to Enhance Beef and Dairy Production in Ethiopia, ILRI, Addis Ababa, 24-25 August 2011
This document summarizes an agricultural information system in Zambia called NAIS that aims to improve farmers' access to timely agricultural information. NAIS previously relied on in-person extension officers and radio programs to disseminate information, which had drawbacks like long feedback times. To address this, NAIS launched an Internet-based SMS platform in 2011 allowing farmers to ask questions by SMS and receive quick answers. The system aims to strengthen information sharing between researchers, extension services, and farmers to improve food production, exports, and farmers' livelihoods.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.

8. General assessment production of
livestock and irrigated crops
Use of improved genetic livestock resources is very limited and/or
absent (small and large ruminants)
Use of improved (grafted) fruit varieties is limited
In many Districts, irrigated land is used for food crops rather than
high value vegetables and/or improved fruit varieties.
No detailed assessment has been made of irrigation, crop and
livestock husbandry practices, however it was noted that there is
considerable scope for improvement in particular in irrigated
agriculture.
Participation of female headed households in most commodities is
< 20 %
9. General assessment input/service supply
system
The input and service supply system for livestock and irrigated
agriculture is dominated by Woreda agriculture offices and NGOs,
especially in food insecure Woredas.
Private traders/shops, cooperatives, unions play a role in supply of
feed, veterinary drugs especially in food secure Districts
Regional mobile AI teams operational in few zones
Water user groups emerging but need assistance
Micro Finance institutions are operational in all the selected District
While linkages exist between public and private operated District
input/service providers and federal/regional input/service
providers, there is considerable scope for developing/strengthen
these linkages (agro dealerships).
10. General assessment traders,
processing, retailing system
System fairly traditional; private sector dominated at the
District/Zonal level; emergence of agro business (honey
processing, export abattoirs) at the regional/national level
Cooperatives introduced for dairy processing –
considerable involvement of small scale retailers at District
level
Private sector linkages between other value chain actors
(traders, processors and outlets) at District level and
regional level vary by commodity – livestock, butter strong;
dairy, poultry limited; honey varies. Also depend on level of
commercialization
11. Production value chain interventions
• Improved animal breeds and fruit and
vegetables varieties
• Market oriented crop and livestock husbandry
practices
• Fodder development private, communal,
irrigated
• Improved irrigation practices – frequency, gift
• Improved post harvest on farm storage
12. Input/service supply interventions

• Water use – water users associations
• Pump repair services – by individuals/cooperatives
• Use of communal grazing areas – by commitees
• Supply of agro chemicals, veterinary drugs, feed, irrigation
and apiculture equipment – cooperatives private traders
(agro dealer ships)
13. Processing marketing interventions
• Collective marketing structures (formal and
informal)
• Improvement of quality – branding,
packaging, grading
• Contract farming
• Increased access to information
• Food safety measures
14. Gender considerations
• Production

(butter/rural areas; poultry, small ruminants)
– Use of women friendly technologies – bee hives, grafted fruit trees
– Involvement in capacity development and knowledge mngt
• Supply inputs and services
– Production of fruit and vegetable seedlings
– Small ruminants breeding group
– Greater involvement in water user associations
• Marketing/processing
– Small scale processing/marketing – butter

15. Environmental considerations
• Livestock/fodder commodities
– Zoonotic diseases when practiced in and around urban centers
(poultry, dairy-fluid milk) – selection sites
– Use of hormones - control
– Removal crop residues can affect soil fertility – alternative soil
fertility measures
– Communal grazing land can have positive effect on flora –
synergy with apiculture
• Irrigated crops
– Use of agro chemicals can be harmful and negatively impact on
apiculture
– Salinity – appropriate irrigation practices
–
16. Value chain development
