The overall goal of the project is to increase agricultural income of 1,18,000 households, and to enhance their resilience to climate change. This would be achieved through the development objective of increasing the environmental sustainability and profitability of farming systems practiced by highland farmers.
The end objective of the Project is to gradually increase the duration of Jhum cycle and ultimately change Jhum/Shifting/Slash & BurnFarming to Permanent Settled Farming in the Project Villages.
To achieve this objective the Project does many interventions to make the agricultural practices more: (a) climate resilient (b) ecologically sustainable and (c) economically rewarding by supporting the farmers through different components & sub-components of the project and finally empower/capacitate the farming community to plan & manage the resources which it already owns along with the ones created through the project in more scientific and judicial manner.
