Horticulture Dept. Offers Technical Support to Farmers Combining Beekeeping and Poultry for Sustainable Income
The horticulture department has announced special technical assistance for farmers who diversify beyond traditional crops by integrating beekeeping and poultry rearing, aiming to boost sustainable agricultural income.
The horticulture department has announced a new initiative to provide technical assistance to farmers who combine beekeeping and poultry rearing with conventional farming. The move is part of a broader effort to encourage diversified agricultural practices that can generate sustainable income.
The initiative targets farmers who are moving beyond traditional crop cultivation. By integrating apiculture and poultry, farmers can create additional revenue streams and reduce dependence on a single crop.
Under the program, the horticulture department will offer specialized training, guidance on best practices, and support in setting up beekeeping and poultry units. The assistance is tailored to help farmers integrate these activities with their existing farming operations.
The goal of the program is to enhance the resilience of small‑scale farmers and promote sustainable income generation in the agricultural sector.
