Changing How Women Farmers can transform their traditional Agriculture to Regenerative Farming for better yield and economic return.

 




Regenerative agriculture describes a broad set of food production methods with two clear and complementary outcomes: the production of high-quality food and the improvement of the surrounding natural ecosystem. Regenerative agriculture recognizes that farms are part of a larger ecosystem, and that agricultural activities must not just make withdrawals from this larger system, but also pay into it. However, Small holder farmers, who are women and youth face many challenges land being the main one. This means food security will be a major challenge if the energetic labor force is not innovatively engaged in farming. This challenge can be effectively addressed by vertical bag farms that need limited space to set and operate. These bags can be placed within the homestead at the balcony and can be irrigated easily with less amount of water. Vertical bag farming is a high-yielding food security technology that utilizes the vertical space to maximize on land and increase water efficiency. Real IPM uses VERTICAL BAGS to make vertical farming possible. Real IPM Vertical Bags are durable UV protected bags pre-punched with holes that increases production of leafy vegetables up to six times per square meter.

Family Farming for Resilience and Sustainable Living (FFRS - Project)

Family Farming for Resilience and Sustainable Living (FFRS) is a project that focuses on promoting and supporting family farming as a means to enhance resilience and achieve sustainable livelihoods. Family farming refers to a form of agriculture where most of the work and decision-making are undertaken by family members. These farms are typically small-scale and involve a combination of crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and other agricultural activities. The FFRS project aims to address various challenges faced by small-scale farmers and their communities, such as food insecurity, poverty, environmental degradation, and climate change impacts. It seeks to empower family farmers by providing them with the necessary knowledge, skills, resources, and technologies to improve their productivity and sustainability. Key components of the FFRS project include: 1.        Training and Capacity Building : Providing training programs and workshops to family farmers on sustainable agricultural

How vertical vegetable gardening is lowering food costs while maintaining nutritional health in female-headed households

Vertical vegetable farming is a method of cultivating vegetables in vertically stacked or vertically inclined layers. It is a way that enables landless families to contribute to food security.  This unique farming method has the potential to lower food prices while also maintaining nutritional health in women-headed households in a variety of ways. Its successful implementation requires access to appropriate technology, training, and an initial investment. Furthermore, supportive policies and community participation may be important to ensuring the long-term success of such programs.  

How vertical farming technique is helping landless families address Food Security?

Vertical farming is a modern agricultural technique that involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers or vertically inclined surfaces. This innovative approach to farming has the potential to address food security challenges, including those faced by landless families, in several ways. Vertical farming allows for the efficient use of limited space. Landless families, who may not have access to traditional agricultural land, can set up vertical farms in small urban spaces, on rooftops, or in unused buildings. This enables them to grow more food in less space, making the most of their available resources. Vertical farms can provide a continuous supply of fresh produce throughout the year, regardless of seasonal changes or adverse weather conditions. This consistent production helps landless families ensure a stable food supply for themselves and their communities. Vertical farming typically uses hydroponic or aeroponic systems, which use significantly less water and pesticides com
