Jhansi University Boosts Farmer Income with Kadam-Colocasia Agro-Cropping

• Jhansi Central Agricultural University developed an agro-cropping technique to double farmer income.
• The method involves growing vegetables like turmeric and colocasia in the shade of Kadam trees.
• Kadam trees provide valuable timber and grow for up to 5 years, creating ideal conditions for shade-loving crops.
• Agricultural scientists are actively teaching this technique to farmers in Bundelkhand villages.
• Farmers adopting this method in Jhansi have already reported a significant increase in their income.

Why It Matters: Innovative agro-cropping with Kadam trees and colocasia helps farmers double income in minimal space.
