Global lens: Sowing green seeds of success

Farmers have also organized themselves into village-based self-help groups, under a Poverty Alleviation Resource Center.

In each group, farmers usually gather on a farm of one of their members or in a demonstration field, where they are trained to replicate the sustainable practices on their own plots.

The farmers are trained on new, innovative farming methods, improved seed varieties, agro-nutrition and value-added measures, in which they are able to come up with different types of green approaches and solutions.
