2.1 该方法的简要说明

The e-Prakriti approach is a GIS-based planning approach that integrates natural farming interventions for effective management, monitoring, and conservation of natural resources at the landscape level. It can be applied for projects such as soil and water management, land reclamation, crop and seed systems design and agri-infrastructure mapping. To establish and maintain an e-Prakriti system, it is necessary to collect and manage data effectively, to build capacity among stakeholders, to have the appropriate technology infrastructure in place and to promote the engagement of local communities with conservation organizations.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

The e-Prakriti approach is a planning method that utilizes GIS tools to integrate ecosystem-based natural farming interventions into agricultural operations. It focuses on creating scientific and efficient planning techniques that consider the landscape as a unit, such as a Village, Block, District and watersheds or river basins. This approach uses open-source datasets, including spatial and non-spatial data, to develop a comprehensive activity plan for natural resource management at a landscape level and having natural farming approaches as its core.

To facilitate the planning process using the various open-source platforms, GIZ has developed a comprehensive guide cum training module under the Pro-Soil Project. This guide comprehensively captures the different open-source platforms and their application to the local context, so to plan and implement natural-farming based interventions. The guide can be used to build the capacity of local-community resource persons, members of local self-governance (Panchayati Raj) institutions and other projects working at the village or cluster level.

The primary purpose of e-Prakriti is to enable effective and efficient management, monitoring, and conservation of natural resources, including sustainable soil management, water management, degraded land reclamation, crop and seed system design, bio-resource and fodder assessment, agro-infrastructure mapping, and the planning of sustainable enterprises. This e-Prakriti approach is used to conduct inventory and management of natural resources, such as forests, wetlands, and wildlife habitats, by mapping the extent and distribution of these resources and tracking their use and status over time. The e-Prakriti approach monitors changes in natural resources, evaluates the effectiveness of conservation measures, and identifies areas that require further intervention. Additionally, e-Prakriti technology can support planning and decision-making related to natural resource management by identifying areas most suitable for conservation or development activities.

Establishing and maintaining an e-Prakriti approach requires data collection on natural resources, effective data management, building capacity among stakeholders, appropriate technology infrastructure and institutional support. The benefits and impacts of the e-Prakriti approach include promoting sustainable development, improving natural resource management, reducing disaster risks, increasing community participation, improving policy and decision-making and conserving biodiversity. Land users' perceptions and experiences of e-Prakriti may vary depending on factors such as socio-economic background, level of education, cultural values and their relationship with natural resources. It is important to consider these factors when designing and implementing e-Prakriti approaches to meet the needs and expectations of land users.

GIZ has collaborated with the State Rural Livelihood Mission of Madhya Pradesh (MP-SRLM) for the practical application of the e-Prakriti approach in the planning process by the local community resource persons. GIZ provides training and operational support to team members for the successful application of e-Prakriti approaches in day-to-day work.

e-Prakriti can significantly reduce the workload of planners and implementers as it reduces the need for physical visits to each and every village to collect ground-level data. A lot of data with very high accuracy can be collected from the satellite-based imaging systems.

3. 相关利益相关者的参与和角色

3.1 该方法涉及的利益相关者及其职责

当地土地使用者/当地社区

Local community members, farmers

They have provided the data and information during the ground proofing exercises

社区组织

Local Community - Participation of local groups in implementing the program activities.
Community representatives from villages - support/drive the program's activities.

Community consultations are critical in promoting sustainable development interventions. It is vital to adequately prepare the community for the actions required, and community representatives must be involved at all planning levels, starting from the ground level. The principles of inclusivity and cooperation are crucial in building trust and promoting effective collaboration among community members.
The community's input is essential in creating a suitable action plan and developing maps at the beginning and end of the planning process through larger community consultations. By involving the community in this way, the intervention is more likely to be successful, sustainable and aligned with the community's needs and aspirations. This approach ensures that the community is adequately prepared to undertake the required actions and the intervention is more likely to have a positive impact on the community's well-being in the long run.

SLM专家/农业顾问

1. Team from GIZ and consultants who developed the e-Prakriti module
2. Specialist from project implementing team

SLM specialists from GIZ, from the implementing agency, other consultants from the domain of GIS and satellite-based applications have developed the e-Prakriti module. They have looked into the specific requirements for planning the natural farming interventions and available open source platforms to meet that requirement. Once this is developed they also did some ground truthing exercises in the field to observe the accuracy of collected data along with application in the field.

教师/学龄儿童/学生

Local Community Representative (Community Resource Person)

The CRP is trained to use the E-Prakriti tools for planning natural farming practices. He/she engages with village groups and the program team for planning, implementation and execution. They are considered the most important stakeholders in the process as it is expected that CRPs will use this tool in the planning of their activities.

Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) NGO

FES is involved in piloting the approach in villages, handholding for the implementation and monitoring the work. Scaling up plans with different agencies is undertaken once the piloting is successful and evidence is generated.

地方政府

Gram Panchayat (village self governing body)
Liaison with different government departments concerned viz. Departments like Water
Resource, NREGS, Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, Horticulture, Panchayat etc.

Convergence planning is crucial for the successful implementation of natural farming as it extensively relies on the utilization of common natural resources. This can only be achieved through the integrated effort of various concerned Departments, such as Water Resources, NREGS, Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, Horticulture, Panchayat, etc.

Therefore, it is essential to hold joint consultations with these departments to ensure that everyone is on the same page and has a shared understanding of the objectives and strategies for natural farming. These consultations can help to identify the potential areas of collaboration and the specific roles and responsibilities of each department in the implementation of natural farming practices.

In addition to engaging with the relevant departments, it is equally important to involve the district administration in the planning process. The District Collector, CEO of Zila, and Block Panchayat can play a facilitative role in bringing together the various departments and stakeholders involved in natural farming, promoting collaboration and convergence among them.

Through effective convergence planning, it is possible to achieve better coordination and utilization of resources, resulting in improved outcomes for natural farming. This will also contribute to the sustainable development of rural communities and the conservation of natural resources in the long run.

3.3 流程图（如可用）

具体说明:

In order to effectively plan for natural farming using GIS tools, it is important to involve the larger systems around the community and the community itself. The first step is to identify and define a unit of intervention, such as a village. Open-source satellite data can then be used to understand and estimate various factors such as geomorphology and geohydrology. This data can be complemented with other available data from sources such as the Ground Water Board or the NREGS portal.

Using QGIS tool, the various data sets can be superimposed to find relationships between them. On-ground validation (truthing) of the GIS data is also necessary to ensure its accuracy. Once the data sets are gathered, an extensive interpretation from maps is undertaken, and the data is translated into easily understandable and implementable material for the community.

Community consultations are a critical part of the intervention, with community representatives being involved at all levels of planning. Inclusivity and cooperation are key principles in engaging the community and government departments and institutions for the judicious use of common resources. Larger community consultations are held at the beginning and end of the planning process to arrive at a suitable action plan using the prepared maps.

The planned actions and locations are plotted on maps on Google Earth, and convergence planning is necessary for the integrated efforts of several concerned departments. Joint consultations are held with these departments, and the district administration can play a facilitative role in bringing everyone on the same page. Lastly, it is important to train departmental engineers, Rozgar Sahayaks, and other technically competent functionaries in basic GIS-based software such as Bhuvan, QGIS, India-WRIS, and Bhuvan Panchayat to extract necessary data.
