Description:
Civicom Aid's Farmer-Managed Community Restoration (FMCR) Project: The FMCR project empowers family farmers through Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to adopt cost-effective regenerative farming, vegetative propagation, and bunds propagation, restoring soil health, ecosystems, and vegetation cover in rural and arid regions. Regenerative Farming: Family farmers apply cost-effective regenerative farming techniques by limiting soil disturbance, maintaining soil cover, diversifying, and rotating crops, restoring soil health, ecosystems, and sustainable food production by 45%. Vegetative Propagation: Family farmers use vegetative propagation to regenerate trees from stumps, roots, and leaves, accelerating tree growth 70% faster while reducing reforestation costs by 50% in degraded landscapes. Bunds Propagation: Family farmers construct bunds to trap rainwater for weeks, enabling dormant ground seeds to grow by 75%, reducing soil erosion by 40%, and restoring degraded farmlands.
