Multilayer farming refers to growing different vegetables on the same plot at a time. This helps smallholder farmers grow various seasonal vegetables and horticultural crops throughout the year while ensuring food and nutritional security for the household. Vulnerable families are provided with an additional income from the sale of surplus produce.
WOTR has been promoting multilayer farming since 2018. As of June 10, 2020, 24,671 households have benefitted from 14,244 kitchen gardens and 562 multilayer farms.
WOTR helped to market 12,884 quintals of agricultural produce. 1,913 families received Rs. 2.28 cr from the sale facilitated by WOTR.
Vegetables and fruit crops grown employing organic and sustainable methods in the multilayer farms are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates. In this photo essay we will understand multilayer farming in detail.
