Economic value to the farmers
Jackfruit tree gives a very good amount of jackfruits every year. They can be used to eat in the house or sold raw. Also, can be used by the farmer to make pickles and sell. Due to the many uses of jackfruit, it brings economic prosperity to farmers.
About the Project
Once the Jackfruit saplings are given to the farmers, they shall also be provided with the technical knowledge to grow and sell Jackfruit. The project is a long term one and support to the farmers shall be given for 3 years till the Jackfruit start to come in trees.
Technology
The trees are geotagged. The area boundary is marked using GPS. Farmer details along with the images. All the data is captured and stored through mobile apps directly from the field. Carbon fixing that is happening yearly is calculated by using the equations developed by the experts for different species in app and reports. Total transparency is maintained in getting the data, storing the data and analysing the data.
Impact assessment
The impact that is being created by the project for wildlife and farmers is measured. All data is captured in regular intervals and the same is analysed by comparing with the previous data on the same parameters calculated a few months ago. The change is measured against the planned results.
Reports
The project reports are prepared and sent to the contributors. The report covers the following
1) Trees status as on the last visit made
2) Any mortality in the trees planted
3) Carbon fixed in MT from the start of the project
4) Economic impact on the farmers.
5) Ecological impact created.
