Background
Nature based solutions focusing on landscape restoration and sustainable agricultural practices such as adoption of crop diversity, use of bio-inputs and biocontrol, optimal utilization of residual soil moisture etc. not only reduce the cost of food production but can also help in building farmers resilience towards climate change. Tree resources on common land and from forests provide an opportunity to meet sustenance needs of millions. By integrating crops, trees and livestock, sustainable agriculture provides an opportunity to mitigate the negative spillovers associated with intensive cultivation. Recognizing the benefits of landscape restoration and sustainable agriculture, the Government of India has initiated schemes like PM Programme for Restoration, Awareness, Nourishment and Amelioration of Mother Earth and Bhartiya Prakritik Krishi Paddhati. Dedicated missions, such as National Mission on Natural Farming and National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture, have been launched. Managing landscapes sustainably is critical for realizing these ambitions, as it enables discussion on competing and complementary priorities of conservation, production and economic development. Sustainably managed lands can potentially help India meet the sustainable development goal that aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
About the Project
WRI India as a project partner and lead under the Food and Land Use Coalition India and with support of implementation partner Amhi Amchya Arogyasathi (AAA) has developed a strategy action plan for ecosystem restoration in the Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra. For strategy development potential for restoration was assessed at district, block and village level using a landscape approach. This assessment identifies more than 5,00,000 hectares of Gadchiroli land as having restoration potential with different types of interventions for implementation. Focused on agriculture, forests and water resources conservation, when implemented these interventions can make rainfed agriculture more sustainable, promote crop diversification, conserve water resources, build farmers\' resilience to climate change, advance landscape restoration, improve nutrition status, support biodiversity as well as generate livelihood opportunities. To take this work forward WRI India is inviting applications from institutions/organizations for the preparation of detailed project report (DPR) for phase wise implementation of identified interventions in six villages within two-gram panchayats of Korchi block in Gadchiroli district.
