One day people will understand that practicing CRSA in farming is the only way to produce safe food. So, I am making this alternative solution popular through social media projection and teaching my village people this method.
My story addresses the widespread problem of modern agricultural practices, including chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and pollution caused by factories and brickyards, which harms my village's agricultural environment. I observed the devastating conditions of the farmers in my village. I decided to quit my corporate job and return to traditional farming practices. I started practicing CRSA in farming to produce chemical-free crops. My story also emphasizes the importance of indigenous seeds, which can withstand environmental adversities, and the role of millet crops in combating global warming; also, there is a need for a collaborative effort among all stakeholders to tackle climate change and create community awareness to put pressure on decision-makers.
I, Ahsanul Baser, am leading this initiative. I have received training in organic agriculture from Oasis and am using my knowledge to educate and train farmers in my village. I have also started a Facebook page called “Sonjiboni Krishi” – to raise awareness about climate change and the benefits of CRSA. My team and I and two farmer families are working with socio-economically backward people in impoverished regions and grazing areas to increase their financial independence and awareness.
By promoting CRSA and using indigenous seeds, this initiative addresses the pollution issue and improves the community's economic and social conditions. The success of this initiative demonstrates the potential for sustainable agriculture practices to improve the lives of people in rural areas while also protecting the environment.
Our initiative has assets worth around Two Lacks BDT and is focused on helping socio-economically backward people. I have taken this initiative and succeeded in producing chemical-free crops and has had positive effects by reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and land destruction. Additionally, the initiative has helped farmers become interested in Aman cultivation again, reducing the impact of flash floods. The zero-waste economic model has created employment opportunities and safe food for people while promoting sustainable agriculture and preserving traditional farming practices. The villagers welcomed the initiative. Awareness is growing inside the young society of the village.
My initiative is feasible as it is mainly for socio-economically backward people. Efforts are underway to increase their financial independence and awareness. The zero-waste economic model followed by my team is beneficial for the environment and for the people. The production of chemical-free crops and the use of vermi-compost reduce the pressure on chemical fertilizers. This initiative can create employment opportunities and provide a sustainable source of income for the villagers. Basic social studies and agriculture are applied throughout the process.
My initiative has the potential for scaling because it promotes CRSA and uses indigenous seeds that can survive adversity. The zero-waste economic model can create employment and safe food for people. The initiative can be replicated in other villages and generate decision-makers' awareness.
My initiative for CRSA practicing farming has a bright future as people become aware of the environment and are interested in traditional farming methods. Funding, technical support, infrastructure support, awareness campaigns, stakeholder collaboration, market linkages, and policy support are necessary to scale up the initiative. These efforts can help create a sustainable and viable model for CRSA farming and traditional methods, benefiting low-income people in impoverished regions and grazing areas. This section should be specific and measurable.
