ABOUT THE COURSE:
Our country is an agrarian society and more than half the population is dependent of agriculture. We all must be aware, that today agriculture is in crisis and there is no need of a full proof evidence that the farming is not viable, looking at the production practices, the availability of the markets and the public support. The current production system has got itself into a loss making proposition by investing huge amounts on the agricultural inputs but returns getting lesser and lesser by day.

If the current agriculture system needs to become more viable, economically and ecologically, it needs two major things:
1. Ecologically - Practicing and encouraging more sustainable farming methods AND
2. Economically - Understanding how to produce, how to sell and how to organize our agricultural activities, in short, Farmer Producer Organization (FPO)
