最佳实践的简短描述

WADI (small orchard) programme was introduced during 1980s in Vansda District in Gujarat by BAIF Development Research Foundation, Pune as Comprehensive Tribal Development Programme. This provided to be one of the most successful among various initiatives taken by the Government and Non-Government Organization (NGOs) to improved the economic status of the Tribal poor. “WADI” programme is basically an agriculture based farming system in the rain fed tribal areas envisaged empowering women through community participation, initiatives for micro-financing as well as processing and marketing of products. The project is focused on development of small fruit orchard (WADI) and restoration of denuded land through ecological intervention and soil and moisture conservation measures. It was observed that this pilot programme is an effective tool for addressing the livelihood problems of the tribal families and there is a need to replicate this development model in all respective tribal area of the country. Wadi is an attempt to reverse the cycle with concurrent gains to the marginal farmers who have been the victims of sustained stresses, social, economic and environmental. Tribal have been at the receiving end of much of the mis-directed development in the country in the recent past, over 94,000 tribal villages being influenced in the process. Within the ambit of tribal development, Wadi has been positioned as a system that has clearly defined and structured horizontal and vertical linkages. Wadi systems’ strength lies in its unique capacity to not only mobilize individual household to better its own conditions but to link it to the community (in a cluster) to upscale the gains through post-harvest processing and market linkages. Further, being a pilot scale initiative a successful establishment of Wadi system in a cluster can help leverage resources from other schemes/programme as well. In many ways, Wadi has been presented as a multidimensional approach to addressing the core issue of environmental vulnerability and economic stresses through a household-based intervention that links it up through the community/cluster to market as well.|

指定地点内的自然环境简介。

It lies invariably in the agro-ecological zone named 12th Hills zone. The annual precipitation is around 800-900 MM with more than 90% received during June to September through south-west/ east Monsoon. It receives good winter rains once in 10-year cycle. Agriculture Zone IV–B comprises Banswara and Dungarpur districts are known as Humid Southern Plain. This zone characteristically identifies dry land agriculture undulating topography, high temperature during summer.
The region represents a rugged terrain undulated by short ridges west of Banswara. The eastern part of it is occupied by flat-topped hills of the Deccan trap. It has the southern end of the Aravalli mountains. Most of the hillocks are denuded, with sub-soil horizon exposed and in many cases barely possesses rock crops. Around 25 % are land are in flat while at 75 % places, topography are highly undulated dominated by small hillocks. |
The soils in the upper reaches are mostly stony with patches of medium to shallow black in transitional zone and valley possessing patches of black vertisole. The black  clayey cotton soil are largely found in many places particularly in low plain while in hillocks gravelly coarse textured soil are available.

The produce from the land lasts most families for 3-5 months. In a better-endowed situation this may stretch to 8-10 months. Very few families have enough produce from the land to last them for the whole year. Barring these, the remaining families have to generate sufficient income in cash/kind from skilled/unskilled manual labor, providing services, trading to see them through the months of shortfall. |
Major livelihood occupation is agriculture based and in majority of area, farmers are growing traditional crops (Maize, Gram, Paddy, Pulses) as well as Commercial crops like Cotton soybean etc. Somehow, animal husbandry also play major role in Livelihood economy. In lean period, livelihoods of communities are dependent on labour wages through construction activities, agriculture labour and migrate to urban area to get employment in big cities like Kota, Baroda Surat,Ahemdabad,Ratlam and Indore.|

根据哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关），在确定建议的实践和相应的技术是否被认为是“最佳”时，应该基于哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关）？

Wadi, local term meaning backyard farming, has gained currency over the recent past in ameliorating the plight of the poor under vulnerable conditions. Its strength lies in putting to productive use of abandoned or wastelands around the household through multi-rooting cropping system without putting significant additional stresses, both on humans as well as on the land. Wadi or Home garden by definition is multidisciplinary approach that draws inputs from agriculture, forestry, horticulture and animal husbandry. The net gains from such land use change reflect in increased availability of food, fuel, forage, fiber etc. The indirect gains through soil improvement and environment ameliorations often go noticed under such interventions though these, to a significant extent, determine the long-term sustainability. It isn’t as if integrating tree-crops at the farm-level has been a new innovation, it has been side-lined due to a swing in favor of economic gains through increase in cropping.|

最佳实践解决的主要问题

Generation of supplement income in addition to traditional cereals and pulses crops for small and marginalized farmers through multi-tier cropping system through WADI model.  Many times recurrent drought occurs in tribal region, resulted low crop productivity , leads to insecurity of food grains as the area is mono-cropped area. In that case Wadi model, ensures food security  through provision of supplement income obtained due to additional produces from horticulture, vegetable and silviculture.|

概述最佳实践解决的具体土地退化问题

Farmers having backyard space which generally lying fellow, not used for any productive purposes, can be used for improved cropping system. The best practices i.e. Wadi model ensures proper land development measures to make it suitable for home garden for sustained income.  Ground water recharging measures, development of water reservoirs and improved tillage operation helps land upgrade in many ways through Wadi model intervention.
The wadi  beneficiaries groups are mobilized as resource unit under Village Development Committee (Village level Federations)  to canalizing the resources for community empowerment, building leadership, facilitating linkages, promoting   viable economic activities i.e small home gardens which contributes effectively in livelihood development.|

本技术的简要说明和技术规范

Within the context of improving land and water productivity, wadi is pivoted around a hardy fruit tree species that has potential post-harvest processing and marketing linkages. Although wadi encourages farmers’ choice of species to be planted, experience indicates that cluster approach provide produce of a `kind’ to economize post-harvest processing with viable market potential. This can only be achieved if critical mass of `raw material’ of a `kind’ is ensured. Typically, an acre of wadi may accommodate 60 plants but to be effective across a large area, experience shows that a minimum number of 40 plants in an acre should suffice to be an economically viable unit. For each target family one acre of land will be targeted for developing an orchard (wadi) by planting combination of 40 Mango plants, 10 Sapota plants, and 350 multipurpose forestry plants this would be a high density cultivation of horticulture crops.|

描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

Through Wadi model, of course biomass cover has been increased through plantation of fodder timber trees around housing, resulted in remarkable changes in improving the surrounding environment.|
Additional farm income generated through horticulture and vegetable crop cultivation, resulted in increase of per unit productivity area .|
The family of five members earn Rs. 5000 from farm and Rs. 5000 as seasonal labourer and as migrant labourer.  Family needs minimum of Rs.25000 for meeting the basic requirement like food, clothing and health etc. The deficit Rs 15000 can be met from return from horticulture and forest species.|

描述两个主要的场外影响（即不是发生在现场，而是发生在周围区域）

Through exposure on Wadi model in the Banswara location, farmers from other districts like Pratapgarh, Udaipur are also adopting same technologies and developing mini orchards with improved agri and silviculture system in their backyard space.  |

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

Earlier, tribal communities were not used to take different crops like fodder tree, vegetable crops, horticulture/medicinal crops due to limited resources and awareness and only they grew traditional crops like maize, paddy or gram. Gradually with adoption of Wadi model, now farmers are growing different crop combination  with inclusion of horticulture/medicinal/ vegetable crops and fodder trees plantation, and this leads to increase in biodiversity in existing cropping system.  |
Erratic rainfall occurs in tribal region which leads to insecurity of food grain and then, they forced to migration to earn labour wages for compensating farming losses. With Wadi intervention, it was found that seasonal migration has been certainly reduced as they were found fully engaged with Wadi management practices because it gives bonus income through out the years which suffice the day to day requirement in terms of food, fuel wood, fodder, timber etc in case of total crop faliure. Overall, it has been seen that wadi practices found very significant in climate change adaptation. |
