The women in the village Anithaban travel from chemical intensive farming to natural farming methods to reduce their farm investment cost. Small farms with high investment cost make families vulnerable in the event of frequent climate change events on the bay-of-bengal coast in Odisha. The women in Ganjam block of Ganjam district initiated crop diversification using local seeds with natural farm management process as resilient action in their village women group to help families sustain their small farms and protect them from the burden of buying costly inputs from market. This enables their land get protected as the family members too protect their health from the hazards of applying chemical pesticides while raising crops.. Struggling to survive with frequent climate change incidents, these experimented with traditional local seeds and combination crops replacing mono cropping and managed to earn Rs. 120,000 during the first two crop seasons of the year. Collecting and exchanging seeds have become a passion for these women as the entire village is being inspired by the success of diverse crops on fields of small farmers. ORRISSA NGO took the CJRF to the Bay-of-Bengal Coast, where Chilika Backish waters are a key part. The project also motivated the small and marginal farmers of the villages to take up no cost and low cost natural farming practices to reduce the investment burden on the cash poor families on the catchment area of Chilika lagoon. The communities realise the negative effects of chemical residue flowing in to the Chilika waters and probably destroying the its rich bio-diversity including the fish populations and other natural foods available in the rich water body.
