About the Program

What are we solving for?
Farmers in India have experienced newer opportunities through livestock based livelihood models promoted by govt/ markets, but there’s a need to build sustainable pro-poor models at population scale. While we are implementing livestock promotion models (backyard poultry and goatery models) in Uttar Pradesh, we also recognize and work towards building a deeper understanding of the value chain to create incentives for markets to participate & leverage govt resources to solve for:
Infrastructure (Land & assets, Information & Technology)
Standardization of rearing practices
Forward & backward linkages for farmers
Collectivization of efforts through community institutions (SHGs)
Organized production
