Demonstrating Crop Intensification and Multilayer Farming at the Kulabir APV site in Nandapur block of Koraput
Background
Heifer International has been transforming lives of smallholder farmers for the last 80 years through building social capital, livelihoods enhancement, income enhancement, social security and wellbeing of the community. It has been operational in Odisha for more than 15 years. It has partnered with WOSCA having decades of experience in various sectors like livelihoods, Health, Education, etc. Through the partnership, a project is initiated, namely, “Empowering Smallholder Farmers in Odisha through Agrivoltaics”.
The project emphasizes on livelihoods enhancement of smallholder women farmers through the simultaneous use of land for crop production and solar power generation offers a transformative solution. By introducing solar energy as a “third crop,” APV enables efficient land use, enhances income and strengthens long-term resilience. This is a new initiative in this region. Besides, several perennial and semi perennial crops, medicinal plants, locally feasible flowers, tuber crops, spices, etc. will be experimented in the area to check feasibility for future planning. For this, the farmers need support in terms of seedlings, rhizomes and other inputs to make this intervention successful. It will also help in documenting which crops perform well in this system for finalizing different designs for future.
