Modern farming:' promoted for other sources of fund and projects sustainability
To increase on to fund for the existing projects that Kole Intellectual Forum has put in place (already in existence), the promoters of these projects are designing several ways to raise revenue for these projects; so that, they can move towards their project sustainability.
Among them is that: the framers have planned for modern farming that is meant to integrate resource-conserving technologies and data-driven methods with core agroecological principles such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and biodiversity management; with the hope of balancing and enhancing productivity for long-term environmental health.
Basically, the concept is meant to integrate:
Precision Agriculture and Resource Management: that is by use of modern technologies such as GPS, sensors, and AI the project is supposed to optimize the use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, ensuring they are applied precisely where needed. This minimises waste and prevents the pollution and soil degradation associated with historical, intensive farming, thereby protecting existing projects by giving out good yield that when sold the fund can supplement other sources of revenue.
Integrated Pest and Nutrient Management (IPM/INM): the framers have planned use modern farming by formalizing the use of IPM and INM strategies. These integrate natural predators and organic matter (e.g., compost, manure) with targeted interventions, reducing reliance on the broad-spectrum synthetic chemicals that can harm the biodiversity and soil health of existing sustainable farms; leading to a better yield too, hence, positive revenue from its product.
