🌱 Organic Grafted Brinjal Farming Transforming Livelihoods in Kulurukumpa, Daspalla 🌱

Under the support of Jeevika Trust, farmers in Kulurukumpa Panchayat are successfully cultivating high-quality organic grafted brinjals, earning Rs. 20 per kg compared to Rs. 12 per kg for non-organic vegetables. These fields have now evolved into diversified multi-cropping vegetable plots, strengthening food security and income. Farmers are adopting vermi compost and Jeevamruta, reducing chemical use and improving soil health. This sustainable organic farming initiative is helping tribal and marginal farmers enhance productivity, access better markets, and build resilient livelihoods. A proud step towards greener and more profitable income.

JRP, in collaboration with Rama Devi Women’s University, Bhubaneswar, under the guidance of Prof. Sucheta Priyadarshi, conducted a study on the impact of organic farming on women farmers in Daspalla under the Smart Farming Solution project. The study highlights empowerment, income growth, and sustainable livelihoods for rural women farmers.
