2. Descripción del Enfoque MST

2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

Typical Newari style rice farming ages long ,traditional and sustainable way of agriculture that is more focused on increasing rice production and maintaining field's productivity.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Aims / objectives: The main objective of the approach is to study how this indigenous method of rice cultivation is helping to increase rice yield and prevent the land from going barren. It is also centered to know about the involvement of various organizations like local government and INGOs in the process.

Methods: We followed the listed steps.
i)Site Visit
ii)interview with the local farmers
iii)question the labors
iv)literature review through books and intenet

Stages of implementation: i)land preparation
ii)crop preparation
iii)crop transplantation
iv)harvest

Role of stakeholders: Government:-More accessible and affordable and subsidies in budget
More initiative for the farmers in term of knowledge ,training and other technologies
Local administration :-Easy supply of machines,tools chemical fertilizer should be ensured

Other important information: Since it is an indigenous method for rice production,and were in practice for hundred of years, the recent racial mixture and introduction of newer method from terai has resulted into vast change in the methods and methodology of this newari method of typical rice production.

2.7 Tipo de Enfoque

  • tradicional/ local

2.8 Propósitos/ objetivos principales del Enfoque

The Approach focused mainly on other activities than SLM (Productivity of rice crops)

To study the typical approach of rice farming and learn about the problems it is currently suffering.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Low agriculture production due to change in monsoon pattern,decremented soil fertility due to excavation for brick industries and lack of modern techniques and methods to cope the problems.

2.9 Condiciones que facilitan o impiden la implementación de la/s Tecnología/s aplicadas bajo el Enfoque

normas y valores sociales/ culturales/ religiosos
  • impiden

Due to massive introduction of new methods of farming, the typical newari method has been altered. This has resulted into loss of expertise and indigenous knowledge that may cause some serious irreversible loss in Nepalese talenet.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Government or other institutions should document the newari method of agriculture for future application.

disponibilidad/ acceso a recursos y servicios financieros
  • impiden

Farmers have difficulties to arrange fund in off season. Also sometime they need to burrow money at heavy interest.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Government can provide interest free loan to farmers.

marco de trabajo legal (tenencia de tierra, derechos de uso de tierra y agua)
  • impiden

Conflicts among locals on resources like water due to extremely limited supply.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: mutual cooperation and advance level of engineering to design water supply for irrigation in the field

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights hindered a little the approach implementation Community ownership meant no hindrance for development.

conocimiento de MST, acceso a apoyo técnico
  • impiden

some efficient and new technology (genetically modified crop) and lack of advance equipment for agriculture

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Administration and local authority should address this and inform farmers about the agricultural advancement through Agricultural Ministry.

carga de trabajo, disponibilidad de mano de obra
  • impiden

Since agriculture is tedious job, farmers are always lacking manpower to help themselves.
Sometimes they are forced to hire expensive workers.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Government and other institutions should help farmer to get technologies that can help them to decrease their work load.

otros
  • impiden

Other constraints may include lack of younger generations interest in farming.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Better education in schools and establishment of agricultural universities may increase their interest.

3.2 Involucramiento de los usuarios locales de tierras/ comunidades locales en las distintas fases del Enfoque
Involucramiento de los usuarios locales de tierras/ comunidades locales Especifique quién se involucró y describa las actividades
iniciación/ motivación auto-movilización Specially promoted by organic business enterprise for exporting them as a better product.
planificación auto-movilización Everything is planned by the local community or the land owner.
implementación interactivo This method is still used by newari community of Nepal.
monitoreo y evaluación auto-movilización Negative impact from the fertilizer ,the need of organic food production is taking good speed for the better world.for this FAO and other local people are showing their activeness .
Research ninguno For this approach very few research been done and need immediate documentation.

3.3 Flujograma (si estuviera disponible)

Descripción:

The flowchart shows the hierarchy of this approach. This methodology of rice production was handed over generation over generation. the newer generation learn from the older people from their community.

3.4 La toma de decisiones en la selección de Tecnología(s) MST

Especifique quién decidió la selección de las Tecnología/ Tecnologías a implementarse:
  • solamente usuarios de tierras (autoiniciativa)
Explique:

Usually all the work is done on the lower administration ,community level and the owners themselves.But due to the social awareness program organize by some socially active organization, the organic method of agriculture along with the modification of traditional agricultural method is getting popularity. As the result of which there is a paradigm shift in farming in Nepal although there is no major involvement of Ministry of Agriculture.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by by land users* alone (self-initiative / bottom-up)
