FARM NE
A single mother’s quest to cultivate a future of nutritional abundance
Smt. Smida Shangpliang, a 51-year-old single mother from Laitlawsnai village in Meghalaya, has transformed her life and the lives of others through her agricultural endeavors. With 1.5 acres, she cultivates paddy, squash, leafy vegetables, and potatoes, relying on agriculture and labor for her family's livelihood. She participated in a one-week training on Integrated Farming in September 2022 through the FARM NE program, leading to the adoption of sustainable practices, including making bio-fertilizers and vermicompost. With support from NSSS, she established a small enterprise in squash juice processing, equipped with a processing machine.
Introduced to buckwheat through ATMA training, she initially cultivated 5 kg, which led to a first harvest of 20 kg sold at ₹80 per kg. She expanded her cultivation to 0.5 acres, achieving a harvest of 38 kg in June 2023.
Smida has become a role model in her community, promoting knowledge sharing and inspiring six other farmers. She aims to strengthen market linkages and continue advocating for buckwheat farming's benefits. Smt. Smida Shangpliang exemplifies resilience and innovation, significantly impacting her community's agricultural practices and sustainability.
FOCUS
Ginger Cultivation by Iaitylli Producer Group (Jakhong Village)
The FOCUS program in Meghalaya aims to enhance agricultural productivity by promoting farmer collectivization. In Jakhong Village, where 95% of the 121 households rely on farming, the Iaitylli Producer Group was formed to improve ginger cultivation. On March 28, 2021, the Iaitylli Producer Group (20 members) was established to boost ginger production as a primary income source. Members contribute ₹20 monthly and meet regularly to coordinate efforts. They received ₹1,00,000 from the FOCUS program, which they effectively revolved to support their activities.
The group achieved an average ginger yield of 8,000–10,000 kg per farmer, with an average income of ₹400,000. This initiative has significantly improved the socio-economic conditions of the members. The Iaitylli Producer Group demonstrates the effectiveness of collective farming and government support in enhancing agricultural productivity and farmer livelihoods in Jakhong Village.
