Skilling for rural women farmers focuses on what are the challenges and needs being faced. After conducting surveys and field visits we have realized that a majority of the farmers are unable to achieve optimal yields. This directly impacts their income. Inorder to address this issue we have identified that farmers are not aware of their soil health and water quality. Due to lack of nutrients in the soil or saline water, farmers are experiencing crop failure. This clubbed with unseasonal rainfall and increasing temperature further makes it difficult to achieve optimal yields. Through our agriculture and soil center, we are providing women farmers with an understanding of scientific knowledge on their soil and water. This helps them not only to understand what their soil is lacking but also helps them to take action by applying the right nutrients in the right quantities to increase yields. In the next 6 months, we will be able to evaluate to what extent our farmers are being able to benefit from our intervention.
