Mitigationg Food and Nutritional Insecurity and ushering in returns for Rural farmers
Department
Eleutheros Christian Society (ECS)
Project Details
Tuensang town is the main economic centre and the urban financial distress reflects on the rural side also. The migrated daily wage earners from rural to the Town were rendered jobless and were forced to return to villages which in addition created unemployment problems in the villages as Kharif season is already in its midways period. It is evident that this migration is and will cause food security problems in the rural villages. Considering the complexity of the situation it is imperative that action-oriented interventions like growing high nutritional crops and vegetable production can augment the emerging crisis.
