INTRODUCTION
Around 70% of producers (farmers, tribals on forest land etc.) population in India comes under the category of small (19%) and marginal (51%) farmers.
These categories of farmers have land holding of around 1 hectare and implementing existing policies to allot Govt. land to them (Booklet no. 434,
Agricultural situation in India: ASIS-6). This population is mostly, poor, hungry, malnourished, illiterate, isolated, deep in debt, having lost their knowledge
to follow their agro-ecology, having fallen into global investment in the market oriented development research, with extension focused on adapting and
converting to high cost, high risk green revolution/Biotechnologies systems. This is the cause of their distress and the agrarian crisis in India. So, if we
want our agriculture to again contribute significantly to the development and growth by becoming sustainable in the long term, we need to assist/facilitate
by meeting the needs of the producer community so that they once again follow their producer oriented, low cost, low risk, agro ecology, primarily to
meet their nutrition, food and cash requirements as this is the target population (mostly women and youth) that has capabilities and if given proper
resources to develop their capacities.
A Farmer is not just responsible for the food and agricultural products to the nation but also responsible for managing and guarding the environmental
conditions on a scale far beyond the capabilities and reach of the Government. Following the Agro ecology (culture) is essential in improving conditions
of air, water and soil. All these years we have seen how the huge Government investments in external input based, high cost high risk market oriented
conventional research & development (Green revolution/ BT) agriculture systems have affected environment and biodiversity, resulting in climate change,
reducing soil carbon, natural resources, access to own requirements of nutritious food, net incomes & purchasing power, health and increasing numbers
committing suicide year on year.
Our mother earth is affected by Global Warming and the temperatureof the earth isincreasing by2 degrees in the comingyears.Soil is getting hard and
no longer fertile because of the increasing use of agro chemicals every year but for the same or lower yields. Nutritional Value of the crops has declined
with conventional crops’ water intake also increasing each year along with causing malnutrition/health related problems. Market oriented development of
hybrid seeds in horticulture has increased in size and yield but at the cost of safety, taste and nutrition. Following table shows decline of nutritional value of
some vegetables.

As one can observe from theabovefigures, how we are experiencing a dramatic loss in our essential and vital nutrients that keep us healthy. This loss arises
from the erosion and mineral loss inherent in year after year of tilling and monoculture. It is imperative that we implement schemestorevitalizeoursoil
andplantsandtherebystrengthen the plants to withstand climate change, stabilize production and ensure long term sustainability and our health.
Many serious diseases have broken out in last few years and the condition is getting worse year after year. The food which we are eating today
is not nutritious and or enough (access) to fulfill the body requirement, thus nutrition through agro ecology (not supplements)
shouldbemajorfocusofagriculture in the future.
After a few years when we think over this issue, there will be no option to go back. At that time situations will be irreversible and the world will face
considerable number of deaths due to malnutrition. So,properstepshavetobetakennowsothatwe cansecurethisearthforourfuture generations.
Government investment to meet the needs of producer communities to follow their agro ecology putsthem (mostly women and youth employment
opportunities) back to work gainfully, ensures their access to own requirements of safe nutritious food and cash, coming out of the agrarian crisis,
mitigating climate change (CC), could meet the sustainable development goals (SDGs), contributes to economic development and growth. Agro ecology:

1. Enables the producers to use their bio mass and animal droppings to produce inputs on farm assured supply of water by increasing
the water table, rain water harvesting technique at individual farm level etc.. This minimizes the consumption of energy on f arms.
2. Absence of agro chemicals in farmingensureshighlevel ofenergy inthefoodandthus there is little chance of pest attack.
3. Producer’s access to safe, good quality harvest of nutritious crops which ensures long term sustainability as the soil health (carbon) improves.
Requiring reduced quantities of inputs and water, producing own quality modern seeds, maintaining farm production (low cost low risk), thus
ensuring improved livelihoods, net incomes and long term sustainability whilst reducing hunger, poverty, mal nutrition, effects of climate
change and Following agro ecology creates a micro climate that can help in reduction in temperature in the farm area. Biomass fencing
helps in maintainingthemicroclimate, reducing the effects and adapting to climate change, with ongoing research and development, season
after season, thus managing to ensure sustainable farm production for meeting own and communities’ requirements of increasing food,
nutrition and cash.

1 Hectare Project
Around 70% of small and marginal producers have land holding of around 1 hectare. With Government making the required investments to meet the
needs of these producers, providing assistance by putting in place the required mandates to work with / along these producer communities and not
against, providing knowledge, modern skills and tools, creating capacity to manage their agro ecology. One hectare land and required resources is
sufficient for a family to be sustainable in the long term whilst enriching the soil carbon biodiversity and the environment. 1 hectare project is designed
to give farmer a ready blueprint to manage his land and resources efficiently along with getting surplus marketable farm produce as well as alternate
sources of income in the form of eco-tourism and with value addition to increase shelf life of produce thereby minimize post-harvest losses.
This document will be helpful to the producer communities’ individual holding of about 1 hectare of land.
Fig. A: One Hectare Plan Overview

Model Highlights
 Trenches on all sides of the farm in order to increase the water table of the area.
 Ponds within the farm that is sufficient for supplying water needs all through the year.
 Well-built pathways inside the farm for convenient commute within the farm even during rainy seasons.
 Live fencing around and within the farm to improve the microclimate and provide necessary shade to minimize evaporation.
 Multi-tier plantation for harnessing maximum sunlight. For some plants/trees require direct sunlight and for some filtered sunlight is sufficient
for growth and production. The idea is to manage canopy of every plant/tree in such a way that there is maximum utilization of available
sunlight.
 Amrut Jal line passing through the farm for efficient dispersal of it and also can be used for water dispersal.
 Provision for eco-tourism in order to generate income apart from farm produce.
Assumptions:In order to start working on a 1 Hectare model, we are assuming thefollowingsituations:
 Whole field (1 hectare) has been cultivated with chemical farming till date.
 Has average rainfall condition in the area.
 Government is ready to fund initial required investment for setting up the basic infrastructure required as per the plan.
 Producers in possession of this 1 hectare land is less educated, requires knowledge and skills development to follow their agro ecology
This model emphasizes on Shifting of agriculture from ‘input intensive mindset & practices’ to a robust, highly productive, holistic, self-organizing,
de-centralized, locally managed, high-tech, precise system in partnership with Nature. Ground on which this model claim for assured yield and income:
 This model ensures availability of required water at farm itself, no need to be dependent on external source.
 Effect of global warming is mitigated as precaution taken in advance by live fencing. It will reduce the inside temperature by 4-5 deg C.
 At present, farmers are following mono or bi-cropping system, they are selling produces at wholesale rate and buying produces at retail rate.
This model fulfills all the consumption requirement of farmers first, and then surplus only to be sold in local or distant market.
 Eco-tourism centre in this model will provide farmers not only additional income, but also an alternative market which would give right & retail
price to agro produces.

Initial Planning
1. The allocated land has to be marked as per the plan. Individual preferences as per ‘Vaastu’ can also be taken into consideration to an extent while
marking. Also, in case required then area can be fenced outside live fencing marking by barbed wire or other means. Between the barbed wire
and trenches there is a gap of 2 feet. And between trenches and outer live fencing there is a gap of 3 feet.
2. The first step after marking the land would be digging up the trenches, pond and well (In case if not available). For digging, we can either use
manual labour or we can use JCB machines to complete the task in a short time. The choice would again depend on availability of resources in the
area.
3. Each trench (Fig. C) (Total – 169 trenches) is of size 5 x 3 feet and the depth of the trench can be decided as per the average per day rainfall in the
area. Considering 1 feet depth and 15 days of rainfall in a month, the trenches will overflow twice in a month. Thus, if we consider 3 months of
rainfall then trenches will harvest (27 Litre x 15 Cu. Ft. x 6 x 169) = 4,10,670 Litres of water per season. (1 Cu. Ft. = 27 Litres).
4. The ponds are dug at 15 feet depth and have an all-inclusive surface area of 6,000 Sq. Ft.. This will have total water holding capacity of 24,30,000
Litres of water. This volume, after deducting water at 25% evaporation rate and 120 days of rainy season, it would be sufficient to supply
approximately 7,000 litres of water daily to the farm.
5. All the trenches (5 x 3 x 1) have total water holding capacity of 68,445 lit.. Considering the water overflows in these trenches 12 times during
entire rainy season we are expecting approx. 80,000 litres of water harvesting capacity.
6. The soil that has been taken out during digging has to be used for “Amrut Mitti” making and pathway development. Pathway development at the
start will be helpful in any kind of production loss during the rains and also an aesthetic walk way for the tourists as well as the farmer.
7. After the digging work is completed pathway should be constructed so that there is ease of transportation in the area.
8. ‘Amrut Jal’ tank must be constructed and ‘Amrut Jal’ line should be laid on priority basis so that ‘Amrutjal’ facility becomes operational by the
time we start live fencing plantation.
9. In the mean time, cow and fodder shed along with Godown/Store room must be constructed. Cow urine collection can be started and stored for
later use (The older the cow urine the better it is). Godown/Store room can be utilized for keeping daily tools and equipments.
After completing the above mentioned planning, the next step has to be taken for planting live fencing. In order to do the plantation, ‘Amrut Jal’ tank
should be fully operational. The ‘Amrut Jal’ should be prepared in its tank as per the process explained.

Live Fencing Plantation
All these years, in our conventional farming system the fencing area and its planning have always been neglected. For fencing only barbed wires or other
traditional, market available methods. The critical aspect of 1 hectare model is its plan for fencing or precisely live fencing. The ‘Live Fencing’ is
systematically planned for maximum coverage and provide following benefits;
1. Since the live fencing will be planted on normal soil and only ‘Amrut Jal’ would be utilized, it would help in improving the biodiversity of the
surrounding soil as is done in ‘Amrut Mitti’ making process.
2. The live fencing will be helpful in checking strong winds to enter the farm and thus maintaining the desired temperature of the area.
3. Improving microclimate of the area by decreasing the temperature of the surrounding by 3 to 5 degrees.
4. It will also provide the desired biomass for ‘Amrut Mitti’ making and mulching.
5. Most importantly, with above all benefits the fencing will also give marketable produce.

There are two types in live fencing as per the plan;
1) Outer (Fig. D) – This is on the periphery marking the outer boundary of the farm.
The outer fencing plan shown in the picture depicts 10 x 5 Feet chunk of the land. This same plan has to be replicated for entire periphery of the area.
The plantation is done in multi-tier system and care is taken that every plant row gets maximum sunlight. Conventionally, farmer use to cut the trees on
the boundary of the farm in order to avoid the shade of the trees on the crops. But, as per this model the issue is taken care planting the tallest trees on
outside. So, at any point of the day the tree shade gets 11 feet width (5 feet of fencing + 6 feet of the pathway). Therefore, no tree shade falls on the
crops grown. And, the plants grown below are chosen such that they can grow easily under these taller trees. The trees and plants selected for fencing
have certain specialities;
27 | P a g e
Fig. D Outer Fencing Plan
1. Bamboo – The produce from Bamboo tress can be utilized in constructing house and cottages.
2. Vettiver – These can easily grow in the shade of taller trees. Also helpful in checking soil erosion.
3. Drumstick – Helpful in Nitrogen fixation in the soil and gives good marketable produce.
4. Mogra – Can easily grow in the shade and it will make the air entering the farm fragrant to give a pleasant feel.
5. Gliricidia – Important leguminous tree, can be grown easily, helps in keeping rats away from the farm and gives good supply of biomass.
6. Ambadi – Has medicinal uses.
7. Tulsi - Is a medicinal plant of great value.
8. Aloe Vera – Can easily grow under the shade without much care. Also, an important plant with medicinal values.
9. Papaya – Starts fruiting in 6 months and can be easily marketed.
10. Lemon Grass – Has good medicinal value and can be used in preparation of herbal tea at home.
11. Banana – Easily marketable fruit for any season.
12. Adrusi – Holds important medicinal values and termed as the first plant in Ayurveda.
13. Phudina – Can be easily grown to cover the surface that is left between the plants and grows well in shade. Daily usage in food as well medicinal
importance.
14. Dhencha – Good for Nitrogen fixation and gives good quality fodder for the cattle.
28 | P a g e
As per plan there are 5 rows of plantation done. The outermost row contains 2 bamboo plants at 10 feet distance. The middle row contains 2 papaya
plants at 10 feet distance and the innermost row contains 2 lemon grass plants at 10 feet distance. In between these 2 plants of each row, other plants
are planted at fixed distance as shown in the plan.
Due care is taken while planning that the shade of the tallest tree falls only on the fencing area and pathways. This way it doesn’t disturb the crops planted
inside the farm and the tourists and farmers can easily walk under the shade during summers. Smaller medicinal plants and shrubs have been planted on
the pathway side so that the farm vehicles can move easily without obstruction from big trees.
2) Inner (Fig. E) – This is on the inside dividing the farm into parts.
Fig. E Inner Fencing Plan
Similar to outer fencing plan the inner fencing plan shown is a chunk of 10 x 5 feet which is to be replicated for the entire inner boundary which is shown
in the map.
The outer row has 2 Singapore cherry planted at 10 feet distance, the middle row has 2 Kadi patta at 10 feet distance and the inner row has 2 Ambadi at
10 feet distance. The plantation done here serves the purpose of providing necessary shade on the pathway, flowers for aesthetic value and some fruits
for tourists to enjoy while walking on the pathway.
29 | P a g e
There are two rows of inner fencing on either side of 4 feet pathways. The outer rows of inner fencing face towards the 4 feet pathway or the pathway
between two inner fences. This is planned in order to give a complete green cover to the pathway. The inner rows of the inner fence face towards the
wider pathways on both sides. This is again done so that the farm vehicles can easily commute without any disturbance.
The inner fencing plants were also selected based on their special characteristics;
1. Singapore Cherry – It is the favourite fruit of birds so it will attract bird population in the farm and in turn help in pollination. The fruit is also
edible for humans.
2. Mulberry – Gives good fruits for tourist to taste while walking on the pathway.
3. Jatropa – Can be used to generate fuel.
4. Gulab – Beautification of the farm, good fragrance and marketable produce in the form of Gulkand.
5. Zendu – Beautification of the farm and also helpful in Nitrogen fixation.
6. Ajwaine – Has medicinal values.
All above mentioned plantation for outer as well as inner fencing is done on normal soil using ‘Amrut Jal’. Approximately, 1 litre ‘Amrutjal’ is required
per square feet of plantation. The details of plants required for fencing along with its cost is given in Table B. The income that can be generated from
live fencing during initial 4 years of establishing farm is given in tables C, D, E & F.

1st Round of Biomass Sowing (Table 1, Fig. 1)
As mentioned earlier, the live fencing is planted on normal soil using ‘Amrut Jal’. But, for other plantation/crops ‘Amrut Mitti’ has to be prepared on large
scale. The most important input to prepare ‘Amrut Mitti’ is biomass in abundant quantity. This biomass will be grown in the farm itself. A model plan to
grow biomass and preparation of Amrut Mitti is given in following paragraphs.
The Eco tourism shall be developed at a later stage, after the farm has come up to certain level. After dedicating land for house, well, tank for Amrut Jal,
Pond, Live fencing, Cow and Fodder shed, Godown & Pathways, the land measuring 5948 Sq. Mt. is available for growing biomass in the first round, which
includes 100 Sq. Mt. of space meant for cottages (Eco tourism).
Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha canbesowninequal parts/ area of land. C4 variety of Maize is selected, as it start flowering earliest and provides fibre to
the soil, Mustard provides lignin, while Dhainchahelpsinfixation of Nitrogen,itprovidesfibreandlignin also.
Seeds can be broadcasted manually or by using tractor. Sowing will take 10 days if carried out manually by 1 person or 2 hours by Tractor. Both will cost
the same. From sowing to harvest, the Amrut Jal will be required 4 times @ 1 Litre per Square Meter (per 10 Square Feet) each. The quantity and cost of
sowing biomass is given in Table 1. Further it is mentioned that one 5 HP motor / pump-set would be sufficient for irrigation.

1st
Round of Biomass Cutting (Table 2, Fig. 2)
• The biomass will start flowering after 63 days. Further it is mentioned that the biomass will not be cut or chopped during these 63 days, rather
it will be allowed to grow.
• The seeds would start maturing after 3 months and biomass will be harvested by the mid of 4th month.
• It will yield 0.25 kg, 0.10 Kg and 0.10 Kg of seeds per square meter each of Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha. Therefore 1,487 Kg of Maize, 595 Kg
of Mustard and 595 Kg of Dhaincha seeds can be harvested ideally.
• Out of the total harvest, 26 Kg., 4 Kg. & 4 Kg. seeds each of Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha will be preserved and used in next round of sowing.
Remaining seeds can be sold in the market which will generate income as per Table 2 below.
• Along with seeds, 29,740 Kg. of green biomass (@ 5 Kg. per square meter) will also be collected and dried. This biomass will be utilized in making
Amrut Mitti and mulching.

• The 2nd round of biomass will be sown in the 5th month.
• Now the area available would be less than the first one, as some area will be utilized for the purpose of making heaps to prepare Amrut Mitti.
300 square meters of area will be dedicated for making heaps, balance 5,648 Sq. Mt. of area will be utilized for sowing biomass again.
• 26 Kg., 4 Kg. & 4 Kg. seeds of Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha respectively will be sown in the said area in the similar way as done in the first round.

1st
Round of Crop Sowing (Table 9, Fig. 6)
• 31,785 Ltr. of Amrut Mitti will be ready from 1st round of preparation (as per Table 4). Therefore sowing of crop, in the 1st round, will start in 11th
month.
• This Amrut Mitti will be used for plantation either on heaps/beds, holes or mountains. The size of these can vary depending upon the selection
of plant/crop. The standard size and requirement of Amrut Mitti is mentioned in Table 5.
• A nursery of fruit plants such as Guava, Sitafal, Mosambi, Orange, Lemon and Mango will be prepared on 7 beds of size 9ftx3ftx9in (LxBxH) each.
It would require 650 liters of Amrut Mitti. Similarly, other plants/crops will be planted as mentioned in Table 9.

The replaced crop will be sown on the land already enriched with Amrut Mitti therefore no additional Amrut Mitti is required for these plants/crops.
Sowing Sweet Potato and other new crops, the land will require fresh stock of Amrut Mitti as mentioned in Table 15.
53 | P a g e
Note:
1. The Amrut Mitti is taken away to enrich the land for new crop. Thus the space vacated by Amrut Mitti can be used to grow additional biomass
required for mulching and to prepare Amrut Mitti.
2. To grow Water melon, Kakdi, Musk melon, Karela, Loki and Galka, 9 ft. wide pit shall be dug in ground. it will be filled with Amrut Mitti. The roots
of these crops can come out of the bed and get exposed to sun, if sown on bed over ground.
3. Brinjal - After the crop is over, we will prune all the leaves of the plant and maintain and nurture its structure. After some time, it will be ready
for next round of flowering / harvest.
4. Onion is planted on 6 inch bed and Garlic on 4 inch bed.

Note:
I. The Turmeric will be planted on onion bed (6 inch). The turmeric requires 9 inch thick bed. Therefore Amrut Mitti is added to the onion bed (3
inch thick @ 80 Ltr. per Sq. Mtr.).
II. The garlic bed on which ginger is planted was 4 inch thick thus additional 5 inch of Amrut Mitti is added to garlic beds (@ 130 Ltr. per Sq. Mt.).
III. The area of Dhaniya is calculated by (No. of lines in one bed x Planting distance x Number of beds) i.e. (21 x 9” x 3) which is the total area of all
lines.
IV. The 6 inch high bed is prepared for new crop of onion.

5th
Round of Heap Making (Table 24, Fig. 12)
• The 5th round of heap making will start in 21st month. Pruning of some plants shall be carried out. At this point of time we will get green biomass
from two sources (i.e. one from cultivation and other from pruning of trees). After drying, 11,604 kg. (4,805 Kg. and 6,799 kg.) dry biomass will
be available.
• Out of this, some biomass will be kept aside for mulching @ 5% over heaps and 1 kg. per sq. mt. over upcoming crop balance will be used for
making heaps.
• 3,519 Sq. Mt. of area will be available for sowing biomass in the next round.

7th
Round of Biomass Sowing (Table 29, Fig. 14)
The 7th round of biomass will be sown in the 25th month. Now the area available would be less than the 6th round, as some area will be utilized for
making heaps. 2,457 Sq. Mt. of area will be sown for biomass with 12 Kg., 2 Kg. & 2 Kg. seeds of Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha respectively. Cost of
sowing is calculated in the Table 29;

Round of Heap Making (Table 30, Fig. 14)
• The 6th round of heap making will start in 25th month. Pruning of some plants/ trees shall be carried out. At this point of time we will get green
biomass from two sources (i.e. one from cultivation and other from pruning of trees). After drying 11,800 kg. (4,400 Kg. and 7,400 kg.) dry biomass
will be available.
• Out of this, some biomass will be kept aside for mulching @ 5% over heaps and 1 kg. per sq. mt. over upcoming crop balance will be used for
making heaps.
• Now, 2,457 Sq. Mt. of area will be available for sowing biomass in the next round.

6th
Round of Crop Sowing (Table 39, Fig. 17)
This round will start in 31st and 32nd month. Major sowing will be carried out on the already existed beds of Amrut Mitti. As the canopy of trees/ plants
would enlarge by this time, some more Amrut Mitti is added around its roots. On this added Mitti, turmeric will be sown around these trees. The turmeric
can grow under shade of tree without sacrificing yield.

  • 7. 2 | P a g e INTRODUCTION Around 70% of producers (farmers, tribals on forest land etc.) population in India comes under the category of small (19%) and marginal (51%) farmers. These categories of farmers have land holding of around 1 hectare and implementing existing policies to allot Govt. land to them (Booklet no. 434, Agricultural situation in India: ASIS-6). This population is mostly, poor, hungry, malnourished, illiterate, isolated, deep in debt, having lost their knowledge to follow their agro-ecology, having fallen into global investment in the market oriented development research, with extension focused on adapting and converting to high cost, high risk green revolution/Biotechnologies systems. This is the cause of their distress and the agrarian crisis in India. So, if we want our agriculture to again contribute significantly to the development and growth by becoming sustainable in the long term, we need to assist/facilitate by meeting the needs of the producer community so that they once again follow their producer oriented, low cost, low risk, agro ecology, primarily to meet their nutrition, food and cash requirements as this is the target population (mostly women and youth) that has capabilities and if given proper resources to develop their capacities. A Farmer is not just responsible for the food and agricultural products to the nation but also responsible for managing and guarding the environmental conditions on a scale far beyond the capabilities and reach of the Government. Following the Agro ecology (culture) is essential in improving conditions of air, water and soil. All these years we have seen how the huge Government investments in external input based, high cost high risk market oriented conventional research & development (Green revolution/ BT) agriculture systems have affected environment and biodiversity, resulting in climate change, reducing soil carbon, natural resources, access to own requirements of nutritious food, net incomes & purchasing power, health and increasing numbers committing suicide year on year. Our mother earth is affected by Global Warming and the temperatureof the earth isincreasing by2 degrees in the comingyears.Soil is getting hard and no longer fertile because of the increasing use of agro chemicals every year but for the same or lower yields. Nutritional Value of the crops has declined with conventional crops’ water intake also increasing each year along with causing malnutrition/health related problems. Market oriented development of hybrid seeds in horticulture has increased in size and yield but at the cost of safety, taste and nutrition. Following table shows decline of nutritional value of some vegetables.
  • 8. 3 | P a g e Table A: Decline of Mineral Content in few Vegetables, 1914-1992 (Per 100 Grams) Minerals 1914 1948 (Average) 1992 Cabbage Calcium 248.00 mg 38.75 mg 47.00 mg Magnesium 66.00 mg 29.60 mg 15.00 mg Iron 1.50 mg 5.70 mg 0.59 mg Lettuce Calcium 265.50 mg 38.50 mg 19.00 mg Magnesium 112.00 mg 31.20 mg 9.00 mg Iron 94.00 mg 26.25 mg 10.50 mg Spinach Calcium 227.30 mg 71.75 mg 99.00 mg Magnesium 122.00 mg 125.40 mg 79.00 mg Iron 64.00 mg 80.15 mg 2.70 mg Source:TheHealingPowerofMineralsbyPaulBergner,PrimaPublishing1997 As one can observe from theabovefigures, how we are experiencing a dramatic loss in our essential and vital nutrients that keep us healthy. This loss arises from the erosion and mineral loss inherent in year after year of tilling and monoculture. It is imperative that we implement schemestorevitalizeoursoil andplantsandtherebystrengthen the plants to withstand climate change, stabilize production and ensure long term sustainability and our health. Many serious diseases have broken out in last few years and the condition is getting worse year after year. The food which we are eating today is not nutritious and or enough (access) to fulfill the body requirement, thus nutrition through agro ecology (not supplements) shouldbemajorfocusofagriculture in the future. After a few years when we think over this issue, there will be no option to go back. At that time situations will be irreversible and the world will face considerable number of deaths due to malnutrition. So,properstepshavetobetakennowsothatwe cansecurethisearthforourfuture generations. Government investment to meet the needs of producer communities to follow their agro ecology putsthem (mostly women and youth employment opportunities) back to work gainfully, ensures their access to own requirements of safe nutritious food and cash, coming out of the agrarian crisis, mitigating climate change (CC), could meet the sustainable development goals (SDGs), contributes to economic development and growth. Agro ecology:
  • 9. 4 | P a g e 0 1. Enables the producers to use their bio mass and animal droppings to produce inputs on farm assured supply of water by increasing the water table, rain water harvesting technique at individual farm level etc.. This minimizes the consumption of energy on f arms. 2. Absence of agro chemicals in farmingensureshighlevel ofenergy inthefoodandthus there is little chance of pest attack. 3. Producer’s access to safe, good quality harvest of nutritious crops which ensures long term sustainability as the soil health (carbon) improves. Requiring reduced quantities of inputs and water, producing own quality modern seeds, maintaining farm production (low cost low risk), thus ensuring improved livelihoods, net incomes and long term sustainability whilst reducing hunger, poverty, mal nutrition, effects of climate change and Following agro ecology creates a micro climate that can help in reduction in temperature in the farm area. Biomass fencing helps in maintainingthemicroclimate, reducing the effects and adapting to climate change, with ongoing research and development, season after season, thus managing to ensure sustainable farm production for meeting own and communities’ requirements of increasing food, nutrition and cash. Natuecoscienceisthesolutiontowardtheseproblems. Itcanbehelpfulinsolvingthree majorproblems: 1) It encourages the farmers to use their farm inputs like assured supply of water, rain water harvesting technique at individual level etc. that reduce the unnecessary consumption of energyintheproductionoffoodgrains. 2) Foodprepared inNatuecofarmingcontainshighvitalenergy,asthereisno application ofany kindofpesticide.Ifthefoodisenergizedproperlythen thereisnochanceofanypestattack. 3) Natueco science uses all the inputs of farming from the farmer's field only, so there is no external farming input cost incurred to the farmers. Farmers get good and healthy harvest of crops which canhelphimgettingprosperityandhappinessthroughoutthelife.Povertymainlyoccursdue to the lack of adequate land and high input costs, while Natueco provides a way to produce enough food for a family of five members in a very small land (even quarter acre of area), and with a minimum input used.Soitcanbeagoodsolutionfortheeradicationofpoverty. Further to this, Natueco farm creates a micro climate that can help in reducing the farm temperatureupto3 degrees inthefarmarea.Livefencing helps in controlling the heavywind speed that can increase temperature in the area, and the plant canopy of live fencing crops helps in maintaining themicroclimate. So, adoption of this farming technique can save the world from several future problems. It can alsoprovide the nutrients which are requiredbythegrowingpopulationofthisworld.

  • 24. 19 | P a g e 1 Hectare Project Around 70% of small and marginal producers have land holding of around 1 hectare. With Government making the required investments to meet the needs of these producers, providing assistance by putting in place the required mandates to work with / along these producer communities and not against, providing knowledge, modern skills and tools, creating capacity to manage their agro ecology. One hectare land and required resources is sufficient for a family to be sustainable in the long term whilst enriching the soil carbon biodiversity and the environment. 1 hectare project is designed to give farmer a ready blueprint to manage his land and resources efficiently along with getting surplus marketable farm produce as well as alternate sources of income in the form of eco-tourism and with value addition to increase shelf life of produce thereby minimize post-harvest losses. This document will be helpful to the producer communities’ individual holding of about 1 hectare of land. Fig. A: One Hectare Plan Overview
  • 25. 20 | P a g e Model Highlights  Trenches on all sides of the farm in order to increase the water table of the area.  Ponds within the farm that is sufficient for supplying water needs all through the year.  Well-built pathways inside the farm for convenient commute within the farm even during rainy seasons.  Live fencing around and within the farm to improve the microclimate and provide necessary shade to minimize evaporation.  Multi-tier plantation for harnessing maximum sunlight. For some plants/trees require direct sunlight and for some filtered sunlight is sufficient for growth and production. The idea is to manage canopy of every plant/tree in such a way that there is maximum utilization of available sunlight.  Amrut Jal line passing through the farm for efficient dispersal of it and also can be used for water dispersal.  Provision for eco-tourism in order to generate income apart from farm produce. Assumptions:In order to start working on a 1 Hectare model, we are assuming thefollowingsituations:  Whole field (1 hectare) has been cultivated with chemical farming till date.  Has average rainfall condition in the area.  Government is ready to fund initial required investment for setting up the basic infrastructure required as per the plan.  Producers in possession of this 1 hectare land is less educated, requires knowledge and skills development to follow their agro ecology This model emphasizes on Shifting of agriculture from ‘input intensive mindset & practices’ to a robust, highly productive, holistic, self-organizing, de-centralized, locally managed, high-tech, precise system in partnership with Nature. Ground on which this model claim for assured yield and income:  This model ensures availability of required water at farm itself, no need to be dependent on external source.  Effect of global warming is mitigated as precaution taken in advance by live fencing. It will reduce the inside temperature by 4-5 deg C.  At present, farmers are following mono or bi-cropping system, they are selling produces at wholesale rate and buying produces at retail rate. This model fulfills all the consumption requirement of farmers first, and then surplus only to be sold in local or distant market.  Eco-tourism centre in this model will provide farmers not only additional income, but also an alternative market which would give right & retail price to agro produces.

  • 29. 24 | P a g e Initial Planning 1. The allocated land has to be marked as per the plan. Individual preferences as per ‘Vaastu’ can also be taken into consideration to an extent while marking. Also, in case required then area can be fenced outside live fencing marking by barbed wire or other means. Between the barbed wire and trenches there is a gap of 2 feet. And between trenches and outer live fencing there is a gap of 3 feet. 2. The first step after marking the land would be digging up the trenches, pond and well (In case if not available). For digging, we can either use manual labour or we can use JCB machines to complete the task in a short time. The choice would again depend on availability of resources in the area. 3. Each trench (Fig. C) (Total – 169 trenches) is of size 5 x 3 feet and the depth of the trench can be decided as per the average per day rainfall in the area. Considering 1 feet depth and 15 days of rainfall in a month, the trenches will overflow twice in a month. Thus, if we consider 3 months of rainfall then trenches will harvest (27 Litre x 15 Cu. Ft. x 6 x 169) = 4,10,670 Litres of water per season. (1 Cu. Ft. = 27 Litres). 4. The ponds are dug at 15 feet depth and have an all-inclusive surface area of 6,000 Sq. Ft.. This will have total water holding capacity of 24,30,000 Litres of water. This volume, after deducting water at 25% evaporation rate and 120 days of rainy season, it would be sufficient to supply approximately 7,000 litres of water daily to the farm. 5. All the trenches (5 x 3 x 1) have total water holding capacity of 68,445 lit.. Considering the water overflows in these trenches 12 times during entire rainy season we are expecting approx. 80,000 litres of water harvesting capacity. 6. The soil that has been taken out during digging has to be used for “Amrut Mitti” making and pathway development. Pathway development at the start will be helpful in any kind of production loss during the rains and also an aesthetic walk way for the tourists as well as the farmer. 7. After the digging work is completed pathway should be constructed so that there is ease of transportation in the area. 8. ‘Amrut Jal’ tank must be constructed and ‘Amrut Jal’ line should be laid on priority basis so that ‘Amrutjal’ facility becomes operational by the time we start live fencing plantation. 9. In the mean time, cow and fodder shed along with Godown/Store room must be constructed. Cow urine collection can be started and stored for later use (The older the cow urine the better it is). Godown/Store room can be utilized for keeping daily tools and equipments. After completing the above mentioned planning, the next step has to be taken for planting live fencing. In order to do the plantation, ‘Amrut Jal’ tank should be fully operational. The ‘Amrut Jal’ should be prepared in its tank as per the process explained.
  • 30. 25 | P a g e Fig. C: Trenches and Fencing plan Live Fencing Plantation All these years, in our conventional farming system the fencing area and its planning have always been neglected. For fencing only barbed wires or other traditional, market available methods. The critical aspect of 1 hectare model is its plan for fencing or precisely live fencing. The ‘Live Fencing’ is systematically planned for maximum coverage and provide following benefits; 1. Since the live fencing will be planted on normal soil and only ‘Amrut Jal’ would be utilized, it would help in improving the biodiversity of the surrounding soil as is done in ‘Amrut Mitti’ making process. 2. The live fencing will be helpful in checking strong winds to enter the farm and thus maintaining the desired temperature of the area. 3. Improving microclimate of the area by decreasing the temperature of the surrounding by 3 to 5 degrees. 4. It will also provide the desired biomass for ‘Amrut Mitti’ making and mulching. 5. Most importantly, with above all benefits the fencing will also give marketable produce.
  • 31. 26 | P a g e Fig. A: Canopy Management / Multi-tier Concept B = Bamboo D= Drumsticks G = Gliricidia V = Vettiver M = Mogra A = Ambadi P = Papaya L = Lemon Grass T = Tulsi E = Aloe Vera = Banana = Phudina = Adrusi There are two types in live fencing as per the plan; 1) Outer (Fig. D) – This is on the periphery marking the outer boundary of the farm. The outer fencing plan shown in the picture depicts 10 x 5 Feet chunk of the land. This same plan has to be replicated for entire periphery of the area. The plantation is done in multi-tier system and care is taken that every plant row gets maximum sunlight. Conventionally, farmer use to cut the trees on the boundary of the farm in order to avoid the shade of the trees on the crops. But, as per this model the issue is taken care planting the tallest trees on outside. So, at any point of the day the tree shade gets 11 feet width (5 feet of fencing + 6 feet of the pathway). Therefore, no tree shade falls on the crops grown. And, the plants grown below are chosen such that they can grow easily under these taller trees. The trees and plants selected for fencing have certain specialities;
  • 32. 27 | P a g e Fig. D Outer Fencing Plan 1. Bamboo – The produce from Bamboo tress can be utilized in constructing house and cottages. 2. Vettiver – These can easily grow in the shade of taller trees. Also helpful in checking soil erosion. 3. Drumstick – Helpful in Nitrogen fixation in the soil and gives good marketable produce. 4. Mogra – Can easily grow in the shade and it will make the air entering the farm fragrant to give a pleasant feel. 5. Gliricidia – Important leguminous tree, can be grown easily, helps in keeping rats away from the farm and gives good supply of biomass. 6. Ambadi – Has medicinal uses. 7. Tulsi - Is a medicinal plant of great value. 8. Aloe Vera – Can easily grow under the shade without much care. Also, an important plant with medicinal values. 9. Papaya – Starts fruiting in 6 months and can be easily marketed. 10. Lemon Grass – Has good medicinal value and can be used in preparation of herbal tea at home. 11. Banana – Easily marketable fruit for any season. 12. Adrusi – Holds important medicinal values and termed as the first plant in Ayurveda. 13. Phudina – Can be easily grown to cover the surface that is left between the plants and grows well in shade. Daily usage in food as well medicinal importance. 14. Dhencha – Good for Nitrogen fixation and gives good quality fodder for the cattle.
  • 33. 28 | P a g e As per plan there are 5 rows of plantation done. The outermost row contains 2 bamboo plants at 10 feet distance. The middle row contains 2 papaya plants at 10 feet distance and the innermost row contains 2 lemon grass plants at 10 feet distance. In between these 2 plants of each row, other plants are planted at fixed distance as shown in the plan. Due care is taken while planning that the shade of the tallest tree falls only on the fencing area and pathways. This way it doesn’t disturb the crops planted inside the farm and the tourists and farmers can easily walk under the shade during summers. Smaller medicinal plants and shrubs have been planted on the pathway side so that the farm vehicles can move easily without obstruction from big trees. 2) Inner (Fig. E) – This is on the inside dividing the farm into parts. Fig. E Inner Fencing Plan Similar to outer fencing plan the inner fencing plan shown is a chunk of 10 x 5 feet which is to be replicated for the entire inner boundary which is shown in the map. The outer row has 2 Singapore cherry planted at 10 feet distance, the middle row has 2 Kadi patta at 10 feet distance and the inner row has 2 Ambadi at 10 feet distance. The plantation done here serves the purpose of providing necessary shade on the pathway, flowers for aesthetic value and some fruits for tourists to enjoy while walking on the pathway.
  • 34. 29 | P a g e There are two rows of inner fencing on either side of 4 feet pathways. The outer rows of inner fencing face towards the 4 feet pathway or the pathway between two inner fences. This is planned in order to give a complete green cover to the pathway. The inner rows of the inner fence face towards the wider pathways on both sides. This is again done so that the farm vehicles can easily commute without any disturbance. The inner fencing plants were also selected based on their special characteristics; 1. Singapore Cherry – It is the favourite fruit of birds so it will attract bird population in the farm and in turn help in pollination. The fruit is also edible for humans. 2. Mulberry – Gives good fruits for tourist to taste while walking on the pathway. 3. Jatropa – Can be used to generate fuel. 4. Gulab – Beautification of the farm, good fragrance and marketable produce in the form of Gulkand. 5. Zendu – Beautification of the farm and also helpful in Nitrogen fixation. 6. Ajwaine – Has medicinal values. All above mentioned plantation for outer as well as inner fencing is done on normal soil using ‘Amrut Jal’. Approximately, 1 litre ‘Amrutjal’ is required per square feet of plantation. The details of plants required for fencing along with its cost is given in Table B. The income that can be generated from live fencing during initial 4 years of establishing farm is given in tables C, D, E & F.

  • 40. 35 | P a g e 1st Round of Biomass Sowing (Table 1, Fig. 1) As mentioned earlier, the live fencing is planted on normal soil using ‘Amrut Jal’. But, for other plantation/crops ‘Amrut Mitti’ has to be prepared on large scale. The most important input to prepare ‘Amrut Mitti’ is biomass in abundant quantity. This biomass will be grown in the farm itself. A model plan to grow biomass and preparation of Amrut Mitti is given in following paragraphs. The Eco tourism shall be developed at a later stage, after the farm has come up to certain level. After dedicating land for house, well, tank for Amrut Jal, Pond, Live fencing, Cow and Fodder shed, Godown & Pathways, the land measuring 5948 Sq. Mt. is available for growing biomass in the first round, which includes 100 Sq. Mt. of space meant for cottages (Eco tourism). Maize, Mustard and Dhaincha canbesowninequal parts/ area of land. C4 variety of Maize is selected, as it start flowering earliest and provides fibre to the soil, Mustard provides lignin, while Dhainchahelpsinfixation of Nitrogen,itprovidesfibreandlignin also. Seeds can be broadcasted manually or by using tractor. Sowing will take 10 days if carried out manually by 1 person or 2 hours by Tractor. Both will cost the same. From sowing to harvest, the Amrut Jal will be required 4 times @ 1 Litre per Square Meter (per 10 Square Feet) each. The quantity and cost of sowing biomass is given in Table 1. Further it is mentioned that one 5 HP motor / pump-set would be sufficient for irrigation. Table 1 1st Round of Biomass Sowing ( 1st Month ) 1.36 Acre (5948 Sq. Mt.)
