Varieties<br />

2. Diversified<br />

Agriculture<br />

3. On-Farm Cultivation<br />

Restrict rights <strong>of</strong> the people<br />

Loss in soil moisture.<br />

Loss in soil fertility (Nitrogen, Carbon,<br />

etc.).<br />

Soil and water pollution due to use <strong>of</strong><br />

pesticides.<br />

More demand <strong>of</strong> water for irrigation and<br />

competing demands on surviving/existing<br />

sources which are used for drinking.<br />

Provide alternative to meet the needs <strong>of</strong><br />

the people<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

High nutritional value traditional crops<br />

should not be totally replaced by high<br />

yielding varieties.<br />

Rotation <strong>of</strong> crops and bringing the<br />

cultivated land under leguminous crops<br />

(pea, lentil etc.) will maintain soil fertility.<br />

Use <strong>of</strong> bio-compost, organic mulch<br />

(Green manure) and vermi-compost will<br />

Increase/decrease in number<br />

<strong>of</strong> Oak seedlings/sapling<br />

Increase/decrease in forest<br />

Reduction/increase in<br />

occurrence <strong>of</strong> fire incidences<br />

Increase/decrease in forest<br />

wealth (resin, NTFPs, leaf<br />

Increase/ decrease in the use<br />

<strong>of</strong> non- chemical applications<br />

e.g.,bio-pesticides,<br />

mechanical, cultural<br />

activities.<br />

All receive benefits<br />

Damage to crops (resistance<br />

against diseases, frost,<br />

drought etc.)<br />

Production <strong>of</strong> grain, straw and<br />

other plant products<br />
