With the increasing micro-nutrient deficiency in children and high Maternal and Infant Mortality Rates in the state of Meghalaya, this project was designed & developed which aims to address the nutritional deficiency of the mothers and children in general and to promote more secure and resilient livelihoods for 2,000+ tribal smallholder farmers from 19 villages in the Resubelpara block of North Garo Hills District thereby ensuring productive and equitable participation of tribal farmer in a sustainable food production system.

The project supports smallholder farmers in standardized production, training & skill development, value addition, market linkage and creating a brand for reaching out to a much larger markets, thereby creating a positive and enabling environment for TRIBALS in the region.

PROJECT PROGRESS

Megha Food has been growing & has started to become visible now. Supporting the inquisitiveness and hard work of the mushroom growers in the cluster with newer practices, cultivation methods, technology support, value addition & market linkages by bringing in technologically advanced systems through this cluster.

Low population density & low-quality infrastructure makes it challenging to deliver financial services and training to farmers. MEGHA FOOD has built a localized network of local service providers (LSPS) who deliver training & extension services to farmers using digital services (GREENQUBE)

WHAT OUR FARMERS SAY ABOUT US

I am grateful that you (Megha-Mushroom) provided me with mushroom cultivation training, and I believe and hope that I will have a source of income, which I am already receiving. You showed us how to use the straws, how to cut them, how to boil them, and how to load the substrate and spawning into the bag, and that is how we learned to grow mushrooms. I'll also grow more mushrooms in the future. For the time being, I've come to a halt because summer has arrived. I cultivated a few mushrooms last year and sold roughly 10 kg, and I know these opportunities are wonderful, and I've learned that this lets me earn money without putting in a lot of effort, so I'll continue to cultivate mushrooms. We are also permitted to obtain loans through this initiative, and if you are financially insecure, you may obtain loans to construct a mushroom shed and begin farming. I am pleased that such projects are being developed, and I hope that this will lead to greater options for livelihood in the future. And I believe that moving forward is solely dependent on one's desire to do so, and that if one is unwilling to do so, even after a long period of time, they will not.
