IS integrated farming a reality and feasible?

There are so much when we talk about integrated farming. But, the most important factors Farmers have to consider are

No of acres in possession
Type of soil
Current state of soil or it's quality
Water availability throught out the year
Current state of water or it's quality
Availability of labour's
Family time and Farming time
Cost of produce
Cost of technology upgrade
Selling price
Net profit
Farm pets
Farm pet feeds
Farm land improvisation naturally and sustainable
Family situation
Support from your family member's
Skill
Observation skills
Experimentation skills
Optimization and improvisation skills
Tools, Equipments, machinery
Sensors, testing equipments
Bringing life to the soil and Establish sustainability for years to come
And so on...

Now, in order to achieve all these by one single Farmer or his Family is going to be difficult.  Every single farmer can't achieve this by themselves.

Therefore, they have to work together as a society, community, with a focus on diatributing function and role based produces.

For (e.g) the whole village can set a vermicompost unit, one  pond, and measure the input and measure the distributed output.  Now, distribute the cost of these units against their input to output ratio and recover the operational cost.  This is possible if these units operate as registered society or as NGO serving just that Village or near by Villages as per their by laws. They should not focus on profit but to serve and meet it's operational cost.  In the future profits automatically comes.

So, better work as a Team.

Similarly,  the Milk products like Segregated Milk A1, A2, Milk by cow typename like காங்கேயம், segregated Curd, segregated Buttermilk, segregated Ghee, segregated Milk Sweets, segregated Cheese,  segregated Panneer,  segregated Yeasts, segregated lactobacillus, Milk chocolates and so on can be produced in the villages itself.

For example each district villages could come together and divide the demand of each of these products.  There are around 7 or 8 Major produces from Milk that can be produced that would mean we would need production units in Factors matching the number of Products.  These units have to distributed in such way that their produces are concentrated in 8 zones of the District.  The villages in  zone Milk would produce only Milk varities, in Zone Curd they produce only curd and Yogurt, Zone Cheese would Manufacture only cheese, Zone Panneer would Manufacture only Panneer and so on.  They all can collaborate together to Distrubute each other's product in their respective zones. This would mean job created in villages or near by towns itself they don't have to come to city for jobs.

Similarly, every produce can be distributed zone wise with in a district. Like Fish farms breed only certain variety on each zone, Fruit Types, Vegetable Type, Rice type,  and so on.

The District Metro service would then be good enough to distribute the produces across the District and state.

These Society, NGO, Cooperative society from the District villages from various zones then can become client to the ஆவின் Co-operative Society.

It's time for #TN, #TNFarmers to adopt such strategy.
