KrishiYard(All about agriculture)

  Across the globe, more than 200 million people depend on pastoralism to make a living. Pastoralists are found in three-quarters of the world's countries. Raising livestock where no crops can grow. They live and travel across unpredictable environments, including the hottest, coldest, and driest places on Earth. Always moving strategically to access sporadic resources, distant markets, or basic services. Pastoralists are guardians of the environment using indigenous livestock breeds that deposit organic manure and transport seeds over long distances. By sustainably managing grazing land, they play a role in sequestering carbon in soils and plants, protecting them. Water resources and ecosystem biodiversity and reducing shrub growth and forest fires. Pastoralists are very resilient in hostile environments, but they suffer from food insecurity. When their coping mechanism is disrupted by drought, animal disease, climate change, conflicts, and dwindling access to land and water resou

  Rainfall distribution has been observed to be erratic and unpredictable. Although almost the same quantity of rain pours every year, the greater amount of rain pours in a shorter period of time with a long duration of dry spells. Weather patterns becoming ambiguous, have resulted in difficulty in the timing of agricultural activities, especially in uplands where farmers rely on rainwater for irrigation. In the upland area, farmers are very dependent on rainfall for water for their crops, and since they can grow crops seasonally that results in very minimal income from their farm, due to the limited water supply. So it is totally clear that water management and supply is a major problem for upland farmers. To solve this issue the best way is rainwater harvesting. Rainwater harvesting can be done by creating artificial lakes, creating wells, and ponds on leveled land. Eventually, it is done by using digging machines like backhoes bulldozers, and others but it is expensive on the part o

  To develop the aroma industry and give employment to pastoral communities in India, CSIR ( Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) started a well-known Aroma charge. The idea of this mission is to enhance the cultivation, production, and processing of various aromatic crops and flowers. Under this mission, CSIR-IIIM Jammu decided to grow aromatic crops on 500 acres of land. CSIR-IIM placed special provisions to provide technical and infrastructure services to the farmers and the producers of aromatic crops. It also provides various tools to extract aromatic oil and for the value addition of produce. CSIR-IIIM works to provide the farmers with proper prices for their produce and efforts are being made to support their business. CSIR-IIIM selected 10 aromatic plants Lemongrass, Rusagrass, Jammu Monarda, Mint, Geranium, Holy Basil(Tulsi), Lavender, Salvia, Rosemary, Wild Marigold with an objective to promote the cultivation of aromatic plants and also enhance the economic status
