Background of Organic Farming Initiatives of KCCS and its proposed projects
Organic farming with scientific method is an only solution to revive Indian as well as world agriculture, which has been deteriorated in the past 75 years of excessive usage of synthetic fertilizers, fungicides, weedicides, pesticides and other poisonous chemical applications through green revolution of INDIAN Agriculture. Though in-organic synthetic fertilizer agriculture has yielded some results on the productivity of wheat, paddy and sugarcane, but failed in restoring ecology & environment, quality production of agriculture produce, long run yield also drastically reduced, polluted air, water and soil, high cost in production, bio-diversity loss, leguminous natural nitrogen fixing plats, pro-biotic micro organisms vanished, also it has resulted poor quality food, not supported strengthening the immune system of the consumers, which is incurred more cost on Hospital expenditure rather food products. Moreover, nowadays, the awareness among consumers increased on organic quality food products. It has resulted among the end users to celebrate the new beginning of Organic India.
With wrong farming methods, we turn fertile land into desert.
Unless we go back to organic farming and save the soil, there is no future. A farmer does not grow crops. A farmer creates an environment where crops can grow. Which are the new dimension and scope of Indian Agriculture and its allied activities? In this back drop, KCCS initiated an INDO-JAPAN ORGANIC FARMING project to test its BLOF- method of organic farming to reduce input cost and increase yield thereby to achieve the goals of sustainable development in agriculture and food security.
It has proposed to save many farmer lives and gain prominence with local, city dwellers. Thankfully, some have taken it upon themselves to produce or support farmers who produce crops without the use of genetically modified organisms, artificial fertilisers, pesticides and livestock feed additives. We have proposed to take up much agriculture start up project among them we proposed the best organic farm pilot of 5 acres Farm at Kanchipuram District of Tamilnadu,INDIA where we proposed to demonstrate a scientific organic farming design with right packages of practices adopting digital farming method such as IT enabled IOT and data science, which helps , how a farmer can produce high quality nutritious, high value immune boosting food products to the needy consumers or the end user, which is efficient, economical, affordable and sustainable. Also this project aim to replicate to get fresh, unadulterated produce from other members of farmers across India, which we have planned to cover up 5 lakhs farmers and capture 80 percentage of GLOBAL organic market and 95 percentage of local organic and ultimately KCCS will help to double the income of farmer and also support the revival of Indian Agriculture in a scientific way through public private partnership and with the collaboration of JAPAN ( BIO-FARM and JOFA, JICA.
Henceforth, “The organic story is larger than just the healthy benefits of clean, nutritious foods. Organic farming, whether tomatoes, medicinal plants, green manure plants, plantation crops, rice, sugar cane, fodder, food grains, grapes, cotton or flowers, help protect our environment- it’s that simple.”
“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
The new way of healthy living….. Our IT enabled services, Market linkages for existing farmers and standing crops, the immediate project is to develop KCCS portal and apps.
KCCS portal is a one stop solution for facilitating organic farmers to sell their organic produce and promoting organic farming and its benefits. This portal caters various stakeholders like local customary groups, individual farmers, FPOs, EAGs, SHGs, CLGs, street vegetable vendors of head load, direct consumer supply, buyers, sellers, agriculture logistic and infrastructure supporters etc. and input suppliers.
- E-Bazaar
- Online marketplace for buying organic products
- Knowledge Management
- Resources for guidance on how-to use the site
- Input Suppliers
- Details of Input Suppliers of different regions and products
- Fixed Price Selling
- Registered buyers can order organic products online by making online payment for the product which was set by the seller
- Enquiry Based Buying
- Registered buyers can place enquiry of a product and eligible sellers can place their quotes. The buyer can then buy from the qualified sellers
- Raising Future Demands
- Registered buyers can place their request for products which will be produced by the farmers in future
- E-auctions
- Various price discovery mechanisms for selling & buying products: Forward Auction, Price-Quantity Bidding, Book-Building & Reverse Auction.
- Statistics supports
- No of farmers in natural farming and organic farming
- No of Registered Farmers and cleared certification- and identify the villages declared organic and chemical free village shifted to natural farming, without using pesticides or chemicals. Traceability data when the village got the tag of organic village.
- No of local groups
- No of input Suppliers
- No of Buyers
- No of products and upcoming forward auction details
- Shop organic online, wherever you go- single window system
The upcoming proposed KCCS Agriculture projects are,
- BLOF pilot implementation – Including in-house lab set up for water test, soil test, food grain moisture test, water molecule test, maximum residual food quality test for processed and raw materials.. it may be a mobile unit or a permanent lab
- Agriculture machineries and creating cluster wise agri-clinic and custom hiring centre, machineries for large scale land operations and small holdings
- Bio-fertilizer production and clusters for manure crops and green leaf manure plantation for continued seed production and quality organic raw material production.
- Waste recycling unit for city level issues
- Yoga, medicinal plants, siddha, ayurvedha , O2 enhancement gardens and plantation, with focus on live fencing of multiple benefit crops for farmers to enhance income and reduce input cost , increase yield.
- Agri export and import based on market information.. Initially with fruits such as mango, muskmelon, watermelon, guava, pomegranate, amla.. Goose berry, banana and other Indian spices, plantation crops such as tea and coffee.
- Establishing relevant food processing centre for semi process and finished products for local market and world market
- Establishing continued research and development centre in agriculture and food processing
- Water management and water recycling for agriculture and industry needs also quality water for domestic needs.
- HR, training and placement pertaining to agriculture for India and Japan with proper language and culture and required culture support.
- Networking with like-minded individuals, universities, government under private public partnership, also to structure professional organization like bio farm India, Indian organic farmers association and creating working partners as part of this project as accessories’ of different vertical with specific role and job description and benefit sharing mechanisms, resource mobilization and distribution system for quality work to achieve
our desired goals collectively as individual and team between India and Japan with no conflict of interest and with our guiding principle of common shared vision - Common service centre – infrastructure development for storage and cold storage, to save pre and post harvesting wastage of agriculture produce.
- Customizing IT enabled automation digital farming and made available to various stakeholders.
- Supporting village resource assessment plan, water budgeting, food budgeting , helping appropriate cropping pattern and form suitable clusters such as medicinal plant , food grain, vegetables and greens, manure crop, green leaf, plantation crops, floriculture etc.
- To support FPOs for business plan, Government schemes access and market linkages.
