There is need to decrease the dependency of small and marginal farmers on external inputs. The proposed technology will enable farmers to treat their alkaline land with biotechnological inputs/germplasm, thus improving the fertility of land without use of chemicals and will make farmers to be self-reliant in agri-input and grow organic food.
The next level of intervention i.e. to create local capacity in terms of infrastructure and know-how of primary level processing such as sorting, grading, packaging, processing will enhance farmer’s share in food value chain.
