Promoting sustainable agriculture for tribal communities
- Shifting cultivation, known as Jhoom in Assam and practiced by tribal communities in Kerala, involves repeatedly growing, cutting, and eating crops until the land's fertility diminishes due to lack of fertilizers. To combat this, the government aims to discourage shifting agriculture by promoting continuous cultivation with proper fertilization, irrigation, and seed collection to ensure optimal crop output.
- Large-scale farms, like tea and coffee plantations, utilize scientific methods to determine the best crops for their environment, employing chemical fertilizers and pesticides for commercial crops. To supplement income, advanced technologies, such as Tata Aganitji's premium tea market, mixed cropping, and mixed farming are recommended to ensure continuous crop production and financial stability for farmers.
