Good Day,
I am really very fortunate that LANSA provided me with the great opportunity to look into the background of agriculture with the lens of system and nutrition. We as an organisation, VAAGDHARA tried to interact with the local community in Banswara district of Rajasthan, India and document their perception as system. We also tried to look at the existing farming practices from the angle of their impact on environment linking them with different goals as stated in SDG 2030.
Our findings are associated with two approaches mostly discussed within the purview of Sustainable Consumption and Production, that are a linear model of farming and a circular model of farming. We would share our findings in separate write-up.
Our research has tried to work with farms on adapting diverse food items. Our experience in this field demands for widespread diversity in food system and linking it with the cutlivation.
In our findings, an increase in food diversity and agriculture diversity is important for building the resilience of small and marginal farmers to face environmental stressors.
