WOSCA is leading a transformative agricultural initiative across four blocks in Odisha, empowering 12,000 women farmers and strengthening four Farmer Producer Organizations. At its core, the project promotes climate-resilient agriculture, synchronized production, and strong market linkages to ensure sustainable livelihoods and economic growth.
By adopting climate-smart farming techniques, farmers are equipped to adapt to changing weather conditions, improve soil health, and optimize water conservation. Through synchronized production, collective planning and cultivation cycles streamline productivity, ensuring consistent supply and better returns.
A major focus of the initiative is building direct market connections, reducing reliance on intermediaries and securing fair prices for agricultural produce. Alongside this, capacity-building programs provide farmers with training in modern techniques, financial literacy, and value addition, strengthening their ability to navigate agricultural challenges.
By integrating sustainability, organized production, and efficient market access, WOSCA is fostering a thriving ecosystem of empowered women farmers, ensuring long-term resilience and prosperity in Odisha’s agricultural sector. This initiative is being implemented with support from District Mineral Foundation and Directorate of Horticulture under the Agriculture Production Cluster framework.
