The RRA Network has developed an action research programme to support advocacy with evidence and experience on the ground. A series of experiments, called 'Comprehensive Pilots', will test the nature and feasibility of support systems that can sustain integrated rainfed agriculture.
Launched across different agro-ecologies of the country, the pilots will generate integrated field experiences in soil, seeds, water, millet-based crop systems, fisheries, livestock and credit, markets and institutions. These experiences will help us develop solutions to improve rainfed livelihoods and nutrition and help farmers better mitigate risk, through a first-hand assessment of the ground situation.
