Promoting Integrated Farming System in integrated watershed management programme

Abstract

Small and Marginal Farmers are not aware of appropriate farming
system practices and modern versions of agriculture practices and grass root systems of IWMP are not competent enough to provide
appropriate advice and support. These critical issues are to be
addressed by properly educating and capacitating the farming community and by providing handholding support in adaptable and acceptable practices and with appropriate technologies in agriculture and allied activities. This is possible only by bringing on board the institutions which have the competency to do so either directly to the farming community or through trained field level systems.
