This document presents a model for sustainable animal production at the village level in India. It proposes providing smallholder farmers access to new technologies like biogas production, vermicomposting, and hydroponic fodder cultivation. Hydroponic fodder production is highlighted as it can grow 8 times the biomass in just 7 days using minimal land and water. The model aims to help small farmers become financially viable by giving them access to credit to obtain these technologies and access to markets to sell their products.
