Innovation
At Future Greens, we belive that innovations are the edifices for our interventions. These would lead to improved access to market opportunities, growth and hence poverty reduction. We approach farm based livelihoods through solutions in the markets.
- The innovations in collective marketing: Transparency in pricing and spot payments are the critical factors associated with agribusiness marketing. Virtual aggregation and live weight based pricing for sheep and goats, Competitive and dynamic pricing mechanisms for organic crops, promoting local variety seeds and enabling markets for marginal crops are a few examples. We have been able to encourage millets and minor pulses that were becoming rare in the region. The Outcome: An average 12% additional price realization to farmers when compared to local mandis.
- Institutional innovations: producer owned professionally managed collectives, collaborations with other agencies.
- Managing Natural Resources: sustainable practices, agro-biodiversity, soil and water conservation
- Livelihood triad encompassing financial, institutional development and livelihood promotional services are embedded strategies.
