Pathways:--

There are pathways which can develop already success stories from the other developing countries .

For eg. India – at one place all this with sustainable., and other place living at farm and running farm as business , and other creation is some farmers and non farmers creating local market and bridging for exports as agents /bokers.

How does it makes sustainable:

It is possible only with the help of using local resources including human resources , with ethics of policy in the government ., along with creation of interest among the farmers .

A question how does we can advocate it:

It is addressing with the current problems and encounters,which gives for solutions as a matrix and drivers to enable the farmer or new farmer can learn and implement and easy to earn.

Further using the farmer as a tracder for local city and urbanareas where he can sell his produce at good and fessible prices. Also possible inclusion of raising cold storage using renewable energy .

Last but not least: advantage with this is a regular income and income generated project --- as sustainable agriculture.
