      <image:title>Latest News - Diversified agriculture and women’s equity; key learnings in the MTR of the RUPANTAR project</image:title>
      <image:caption>The key learnings from the FGDs are as follows: Retaining income: In most cases, the income from goat rearing mainly stays with the women, who are also the primary caretakers of the goats. This income-retaining ability increases their status within the family and thereby helps them grow their decision-making power. Economic freedom: With the income from goat rearing, the women in some cases meet their personal requirements for upscale goods (e.g., jewellery, Saree, etc.). Often, they contribute their income to assist their child's education, cover medical costs, and support farming activities. Their confidence in their ability to make decisions grows because of those actions. Drudgery vs. freedom: Women appreciated working together and receiving compensation after the fieldwork because they saw paid work in other people's fields as liberation from their everyday household chores rather than drudgery. Not every woman is permitted to pursue compensated employment. The decision to go on paid labour is mostly influenced by household norms and economic standing. Deep-seated patriarchy: While almost all the women acknowledged that they had some financial independence because the money they receive from raising goats stays with them, they nevertheless acknowledge that they are less powerful than men and wish to continue that way.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Although the land was deemed suitable for mustard, there were many challenges, major being the animal attack prevalent in the region, farmers in neighboring plots doing crops that requires flooding their plot (which would kill the mustard plant), unavailability of capital for inputs and information for optimal harvest. The implementation partners provided the inputs free of cost to initially attract more farmers, and in the last Rabi season, 26 farmers volunteered to grow mustard in the plot level nodes in Unnishbisha, West Bengal, with total acreage of 30 bigha. The mustard is already harvested, and the implementation partners also helped the participating farmers to transplant their boro crop on time with Rice Transplanting Machine. Furthermore, researchers from UBKV implemented ZT in a few plots and Traditional tillage in others to understand the difference in yield vis a vis cost of production. Data about yield, mechanism undertaken to communicate the project’s outline is yet to be collected which in turn will inform this year’s pathway.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chilly and potato were discussed to be introduced in the region and after much consideration chilly was selected as it required less investment. Less capital is a severe lack faced by almost all smallholder farmers and experts believed that scaling less capital-intensive practices and crops will help the fasten adoption process while also mitigating risk. Potato on the other hand required huge capital investment. Challenges included finding the right sowing window for better price realization and better yield. A total of 11 farmers volunteered to grow chilly under this project and a total of 8 bigha has been under cultivation. Harvesting is already started and is expected to continue for another month or so. Partners from UBKV also experimented with plots with mulching and without identifying the difference in cost of production and yield in order to demonstrate to the farmers about optimal practice.</image:caption>
