The CGIAR–TAFSSA (Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia) initiative is transforming agriculture in the region. TAFSSA is leading a coordinated effort that brings together various stakeholders, with a focus on equitable access to healthy diets, farmer livelihood improvement, and environmental conservation. This blog highlights TAFSSA’s recent Farmer Field Day in Karnal District, Haryana, India, in February 2023.
The groups that TAFSSA works with are both male and female farmer groups, state and central government agencies, research institutions like the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU), and the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK) researchers, farmer groups, and many more. This multifaceted collaboration is critical to achieving the initiative’s objectives.
2023 is International Millet Year, in celebration of which the Government of India is taking significant steps to prioritize millet through crop diversification. This strategic move aims to strengthen farming systems by providing access to nutritious diets and alternative livestock fodder.
