You need to provide more details about what you have in mind. Are you planning to go with Tree Based Farming (Perennial) or Vegetables, Cereals, Grains etc(Annual) or a combination of both?
1.What is the water source?
2.Fencing is available or not?
3.Electricity is available or not? etc
The more details you provide will help others to help you.
Hi,
My Plan is to do Vegetables (Continuous) , Cereals, Grains etc(Annual) and some fruit trees for my own purpose.
- Water source - Open well with 5 HP agri service ( Drip line / Rain hose installed across the land)
- Fully Fenced Land.
- Electricity available (Agri service + Domestic service)
Regards
Rajeev Nair
Good that you have Fencing + EB readily available.
Since you are in Chengalpattu, if you grow vegetables, you can easily sell the vegetables directly to the consumer.
8.5 acres is a big patch of land.
Even with 1 acre of vegetables land, you will get lot of vegetables. So decide on how much land is going to be used for each.
Keep the discussion going.
From the gigantic galaxies in the space to a tiny sand particle on the sea beach all are different .
Each and every leaf of same plants to every finger prints of ever single human being are different …
There is only one thing in the law of universe is Diversity .
Every seen and unseen components of Nature prefers to follow the same law “Diversity”
Agriculture being part of Nature and utilization of natural resource to produce food also prefers to follow the same common mathematical law - Diversity !
One size fits all in Agriculture is non-existing !
One size fits all concept introduced in 60’s was Green Revolution , feed the hi-yield , hybrid , F-! , F-2 , GMO crops with external inputs ( Synthetic Fertilizer / Toxic Pesticide ,weedicides etc. ) and reap money .
The final result is just before your eyes ,
we lost the climate resilient crops , indigenous crops , and also changed our simple food habits and welcomed urban disease with micro nutrient deficient daily foods .
The truth though, is that farmers in India are as diverse as the country itself.
So are the challenges they face, depending on where they are located, what they grow, what they eat and what the kind of farming they do, and so on.
Which, obviously, means that there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to address these challenges? And that’s where our farmers, especially rainfed farmers are failing .
Just practice Sustainable Agriculture – the basic soil science is all about feeding the soil with natural leftover biomass not the crop ; low or no tillage of fields, leaving crop cover in place after harvest, and rotating crops
Every agriculture practice should based on following points in mind –
Climate-smart properties,
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions,
Reduced external fertilizer and pesticide use ,
Improved resilience of yields to rainfall shocks
Conserve local plant / crops / legume species as per local food habits .
