Organic Farming-A Beautiful Way of Being with Nature Know More.. Biovillage - improving livelihoods ICCOA initiated a unique concept of biovillage that goes beyond just organic farming and certification. The model aims to increase the farmer's income and living standards by integrating seven other components such as agriculture/ horticulture, animal husbandry, production of organic inputs, bio gas units, basic processing facilities, rural entrepreneurs, agri and eco-tourism. The farmers and entrepreneurs will take up these activities within the village, thereby reducing the costs of farming inputs, processing centres, marketing and enhance marketing opportunities Rural entrepreneurs are encouraged to start community compost units, primaryprocessing centres, which will provide employment to the village youth. Farm stays andhome stays are becoming popular with eco tourism initiatives and this will be leveragedto supplement the income of the farmer. The biovillage model aims to build self-sufficient communities using sustainable organic farming practices. ICCOA is a knowledge and learning centre promoting organic agriculture and agribusiness. It provides a platform for interaction to all stakeholders in the organic sector Conversion to organic cultivation 16 states 28,122 farmers 33,786 hectares ICCOA bio-villages Developing markets International Trade Regional Trade Fairs Organic Marts Market linkages Building capacity Farmers training Workshops Conferences Organic agripreneurship Policy advocacy & Research Advisory committees Market research Research papers Publications Consultancy & collaborations Global collaboration IFOAM Asia Board Strategy for organic farms Agripreneurs What's New? 16-17 January2021 Training and Inauguration at Jaivik Vigyan Kendra 3 December2020 Organic Agribusiness-a Microsoft of the future 13 February2019 ICCOA led a delegation to Biofach Germany in Nuremberg 28 December2018 JAIVIK INDIA AWARD & NATIONAL ROADSHOW 7-8 July2018 BANGALORE ORGANIC MART' & 'SAVAYEVA SANTHE 20 February2018 Jaivik India Awards Seg 1 18-20 January2019 ORGANICS & MILLETS 2019 INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR 20 FEBRUARY2018 Jaivik India Awards Seg 2 20 JANUARY2018 Jaivik India Awards 2018 Photo Gallery 20 January2018 Jaivik India AwardsPromo Video 20 JANUARY2018 Jaivik India Awards Encouraging contributors towards organic farming, promotion and business.
