The NAADS programme operation is guided by the following principles;
|
 |
Managing Natural Resource Productivity
|
By transforming agricultural production and productivity without degrading the environment, by supporting farmers to manage agricultural activities while maintaining the productivity of natural resources for both the present and future generations.
natural resources include forests and trees, fish, wetlands, lakes and rivers, soil, grasslands and other productive ecosystems. Natural resources provide productive services to agriculture and they support livelihoods in themselves (often for the poorest and most marginalised, serving as important safety nets in difficult times)
sustainable natural resource management in NAADS covers on-farm issues (eg. soil and water management, appropriate agrochemical use, conservation tillage, organic farming, etc) and off-farm issues (eg. forestry, fisheries, beekeeping, etc). On- and off-farm issues require fundamentally different approaches to advisory services and involve addressing different kinds of challenges
This is being done through:
implementing a strategy that ensures that natural resource management issues are incorporated into NAADS work plans
