Limited Adoption of Mixed Farming Systems

Problem Statement

Mono-cropping increases climate and market risks. Farmers lack reliable models, technical guidance, and market linkages to transition effectively to diversified, integrated/mixed farming systems (e.g., integrating livestock, apiculture, or horticulture).

Innovation Opportunities

• Integrated Farm Planning and Modeling Tools: Software that helps farmers design optimal, profitable mixed-farming models based on land size, resources, and local climate.
• Market Linkages for Diverse Outputs: Dedicated digital channels for selling niche products (e.g., honey, fodder, milk) resulting from diversified farming.
