Move from Traditional and Cultural Farming Methods into a Subsistent, Sustainable and Value-Added Farming
Move from Traditional and Cultural Farming Methods into a Subsistent, Sustainable and Value-Added Farming
Target: 80% of land to be used for a mix of traditional and technology enhanced method of farming Crops. Total yield is targeted to be at least 120% of total possible land output under traditional methods.
Create Diversified Farming Products
Create Diversified Farming Products
Primary Output:
Mixed plots of Traditional Community crop with plots of modern methods to boost yields (120%)
Diversification of primary crop. E.g. grow a variety of crops rather than current mono-culture.
To look at global trends of commodities and agricultural products and to meet global demands. (2018: to supply China with soya beans due to China-US trade war)
Secondary Output :
Processed crop products: Food products, oil etc.
Quality products specially grown, selected and tested: By special methods, select farmers’ method, Select quality (taste or Nutrition), Eco-themed products (e.g. carbon neutral crops etc), packaging and branding
Tertiary Output:
Recycling of 'waste' products from agriculture: Rice stalks, husks etc.
Taking in waste products of other farms and turning them into new outputs. E.g. bio-diesel, bio-plastics.
Promote Technology Use to increase Crop variety, yield & resilience; safety and productivity to the farmers
