The project took efforts to revive the culture of farmer experimentation, engaging them in research activities to adapt and improve available technologies and following two strategies: on-farm research for adapting existing technologies and agronomic practices available for small millets and, identifying location-specific natural resource management measures, including soil and water conservation. Both strategies were built on farmers’ indigenous knowledge and their active participation in the research process. The project formed 292 experimental farmer groups of various forms across all the sites in South Asia and organised training programs on recommended package of practices for small millets.
