What is APC
Promotion of Agriculture Production Cluster (APC) in Tribal Regions of Odisha is a collaborative effort by Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment, Department of Panchayatiraj & Drinking Water, Bharat Rural Livelihood Foundation (BRLF) and Professional Assistance for Development Action (PRADAN).
The project aims to sustainably double the income of 1 lakh small and marginal families by establishing the model of Agriculture Production Cluster (APC) in 40 backward Blocks of the State. This, as an effective method will organize production system and services of markets of various farm based and livestock rearing interventions.Sustainable production measures like NPM and selection of climate resilient crops will guarantee regular income to the farmers.
The programme will facilitate better linkages of producer organisations with market at the regional level to provide better price actualization.
Highly remunerative and diversified farming systems suitable to the context, despite of significant presence of marginal poor tribal farmers and inadequate ecosystems to support livelihood activities. Low and unpredictable productivity of agriculture, lack of remunerative livelihood sources, declining source of sustenance from the forest and livestock and lack of employment opportunities locally; are the key factors of the poverty.
