For many marginal families, steady income and food security depend on farming practices that are reliable, affordable, and suited to local conditions. Gaps in access to knowledge, markets, and support systems often limit farmers’ ability to improve productivity and incomes.
ChildFund India’s work on livelihoods and food security supports farmers and agro-based entrepreneurs across Child Development Program locations to strengthen household food availability and income. The program focuses on improving farming practices, collective approaches, and linkages to services that help families build more secure and sustainable livelihoods.
Farmers are supported to adopt appropriate and sustainable agriculture practices such as Integrated Farming Systems, organic farming, System of Rice Intensification, and System of Wheat Intensification, helping improve productivity and resource use.
Training and awareness focus on climate-smart agriculture practices including vermicomposting, animal husbandry, and diversified cropping systems.
Common Interest Groups are formed to support collective production and marketing, helping farmers access better prices and fair returns for their produce.
Agro-entrepreneurs are encouraged to take up high-value crops and strengthen their enterprises through improved production and market linkages.
Farmers are linked with livelihood service providers and relevant government schemes, improving access to technical support, inputs, and financial assistance.
