Promotion of Low Cost, Eco-Friendly Agriculture
Since its inception, NOAD has been promoting the ideas based on low-input alternative cropping systems mainly with small-scale householders. We reach the farmers on one-to-one basis and organize them into groups. NOAD organizes farmers’ field days and study tours to enhance knowledge and technical expertise. We mainly focus on to promote
Low in-put, high potential, short duration alternative cropping systems
Water saving techniques
Cultivation of short duration crops, edible oils, vegetables and fruit plants
Profitable cattle and goat farming
Other important component of the agricultural work is the provision of small Agricultural grants. NOAD has, so far extended PKR 6 million to the poor small holders to grow alternative short duration and low capital-intensive crops to replace the highly chemical and and capital -intensive farm technologies.
