In a step towards advancing science-led agrarian transformation and enhancing farmers' income through high-value agri-enterprises, the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu, through the CSIR Floriculture Mission being implemented in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory, has been providing end-to-end support and handholding to floriculture farmers.
For the enhancement of the capacity and scientific skill set of farmers and stakeholders, the CSIR-IIIM organised a workshop on technology dissemination in floriculture and apiculture-based bio-enterprises.
The workshop brought together 230 farmers from rainfed and irrigated agricultural zones of Jammu, who were also provided with quality planting material of high-yielding varieties of marigold, reflecting the Mission's inclusive outreach and region-specific approach.
The initiative aimed at enabling farmers to transition from traditional cropping systems to high-value, market-oriented, and employment-intensive agri-bio enterprises, supported by science, innovation, and institutional handholding.
