Designing methodologies for farmland restoration and transformation

What is being done to help farmland restoration and transformation?

This post uses earlier gap analysis for Sustainable Agriculture to state that the following insights could help farmland restoration and transformation in regions prone to be flood afflicted:

1. Designing a Hub and Spoke layout instead of adjoining farmlands or any other arrangement (if a farmer or grower has multiple pieces of land close to one another), where this layout will help inflow, outflow and irrigation & drainage patterns

2. Ensuring agriculturist, farmer or grower maintains an inventory of resources to be used for Climate Change Mitigation

3. Encouraging agriculturists, farmers and growers to landscape their farm lands to maximize flow of storm water into nearby underground wells, man-made ponds and lakes (that could be connected to larger water bodies). This landscaping will also help dewatering pumps and pipelines work effectively.

4. Facilitating growth of foliage, shrubs and green shelter belts around farmlands wherever this is possible

5. Designing surveillance of crops grown, cropping patterns, harvesting practices and storage practices of agriculturists, farmers and growers in regions that are flood prone

6. Controlling man’s intervention leading to land degradation either by wrong cropping patterns, wrong irrigation methods, ignoring the settling down of cement dust & insoluble pollutants in farmlands, wells, man-made ponds and lakes

7. Developing a FMCEA/FMEA based readiness, repair or restoration and transformation strategy in regions prone to disasters. Here FMCEA stands for Failure Mode Cause and Effect Analysis, FMEA stands for Failure Mode Effects Analysis.

This Failure Mode Analysis could be developed on the basis of the tabulation of crop types, type of soil needed, type of climate needed, typical rainfall measurements and intervention envisioned (on the basis of the physical, chemical and organic process involved in the formation of the soil in and around the farmland).

On doing thisthe government and agriculturists will be more prepared and focused to address issues (as and when needed).
