Regenerative farming methods can play an essential role in ensuring food security by promoting sustainable and resilient agricultural practices. Mixed cropping systems, which involve growing multiple crops together in the same field, are one approach to regenerative farming that can enhance food security.

To implement regenerative farming methods using mixed systems for cultivating food crops in Bangkal Village, it's essential to consider the specific characteristics, resources, and needs of the community.

Intervention Details:

• Number of farmers supported: 10 farmers
• Total land area intervened: 6 ha
• Technology introduced: Regenerative farming method by using organic materials, such as manure, and planting intercrops

Impact:

• Diversified cropping systems and regenerative practices can lead to higher and more stable food production. Communities are less vulnerable to crop failures due to pests, diseases, or adverse weather conditions.
• By growing a mix of crops and integrating various farming practices, communities can increase their income potential. Selling surplus crops, vegetables, nuts, or value-added products can provide additional revenue streams.
• Training community members in regenerative farming methods empowers them with knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their farming practices. This knowledge can be shared and passed down to future generations.

Next steps:
Continuing sustainable regenerative agricultural practices independently by the farmers.
