The Voice Summary

In the Kandhamal District, farmers are expressing widespread challenges in adopting and expanding traditional farming practices. A significant problem is the scarcity of traditional seeds 🌾, coupled with a pervasive lack of financial assistance and adequate farm machinery, which severely hinders their ability to cultivate effectively, especially for crucial second crops. Many also voice concerns about modern farming methods degrading soil fertility. Despite these obstacles, there is an overwhelming desire to revive and preserve traditional farming, with many farmers already successfully cultivating a second crop using zero-irrigation methods and actively saving seeds. The community is eager to promote these sustainable practices and is seeking government support to overcome current limitations.💡
