2. Descrição da abordagem de GST

2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

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 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

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 abordagem

  • Tradicional/Indígena

2.8 Principais metas/objetivos da abordagem

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 Condição que propiciam ou inibem a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias aplicada(s) segundo a abordagem

Normas e valores sociais/culturais/religiosos
  • Inibitivo

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.

Disponibilidade/acesso a recursos e serviços financeiros
  • Inibitivo

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.

Quadro jurídico (posse de terra, direitos de uso da terra e da água)
  • Inibitivo

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.

Conhecimento sobre GST, acesso a suporte técnico
  • Inibitivo

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 trabalho, disponibilidade de força de trabalho
  • Inibitivo

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.

Outro
  • Inibitivo

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. Participação e papel das partes interessadas envolvidas

3.1 Partes interessadas envolvidas na abordagem e seus papéis

  • Usuários de terra/comunidades locais

While younger generations are moving abroad for the similar reason. So, the female are mostly limited and focused in the cultivation of the crop. Both male and female is 20s and above 50s who are mostly economically disadvantaged.

Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais Especifique quem estava envolvido e descreva as atividades
Iniciação/motivação Automobilização Specially promoted by organic business enterprise for exporting them as a better product.
Planejamento Automobilização Everything is planned by the local community or the land owner.
Implementação Participativo This method is still used by newari community of Nepal.
Monitoramento/avaliação Automobilização 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 Nenhum For this approach very few research been done and need immediate documentation.

3.3 Fluxograma (se disponível)

Descrição:

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 Decisão sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias de GST

Especifique quem decidiu sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias a serem implementadas:
  • Somente usuários da terra (iniciativa própria)
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)
