Holiday Harvest Gujarat, India
Ensure rural farmers can feed their families throughout the year.
This project will enhance the agricultural growth of Ardi village by collaboratively adopting new techniques of farming through training sessions and new technology that can later be used by the villagers to help increase production, and in turn, increase their income.
The proposed methods will involve training as well as an introduction to technology. If executed correctly, not only will the production of the village go up, but so will the villagers' average income. They will also save time since they will no longer need to travel to other areas for jobs and will also be able to earn a reasonable amount of money from selling the crops/vegetables etc. that they have grown.

What?
Every week, there will be a meeting with the first batch of villagers involved (the trainees), to discuss new ways and future requirements of farming and agriculture.
Why?
Agricultural equipment is not readily available in Ardi, and whatever equipment the villagers are exposed to, is either not efficient enough or damaged (and thus, too expensive to repair). The reason behind wanting to develop new methods is so that the villagers can grow vegetables, grains etc. at lower costs as well as sell some of it for their own income. The training will also make them self dependent and therefore, not reliant on the market.
How?
At first, there will be training sessions to introduce the new methods as well as to familiarize the farmers with the technology they may be working with. After a series of training sessions, the batch of farmers that were taught the methods, will then pass it down to their children, relatives etc. and thus, like a cycle, the methods will soon catch on and will improve the agricultural style of the village tremendously.
