Women play a vital role in agriculture from soil enrichment to harvesting and preserving seeds for next crop, but they are seen as or farm labourers rather than farmers. They dont have access to information, institutional credits or extension services to enhance their skills and expertise. With the advent of Green revolution, women have become vulnerable to health hazards due to the harmful effects of chemical farming. In this backdrop we have introduced eco-friendly farming and women friendly interventions to enhance their farming abilities and strengthen their organisations for better production. During this period, we had promoted 200 women farmers for eco-friendly farming in their patches of land to enhance their livelihood and address the climate change.
The objective is the social and economic empowerment of women. In this context the potential has to be recognized and the inputs of women should be optimally utilized without adding to the burden of women. A larger number of women are engaged in wage labour there is a need for promotion of specific livelihoods, facilitating policy for increase in incentives and for creating an enabling environment. The following are the components of the strategy.
