Bring an expertise to the projects in biodiversity management by following a structured approach consisting of a baseline assessment, setting SMART goals along with the producers, selection & implementation of the selected (together) measures and establishing a monitoring mechanism. Co-creating a dynamic conversion plan, as part of an emerging future.
My advisory methodology is based on the concept of coaching/accompanying the members of the project’s team to be advisors & trainers themselves to empower them to manage the project on Biodynamic Principals & Practices with the goal of the project becoming a self-sufficient farm organisation.This approach starts with a viability study on the market of the produce and an attempt to build a mutually beneficial relationship based on Associative Economics principle with prospective purchasers/markets of the produce locally & internationally, at the start of the project itself.
Several projects & initiatives in Asia, to name a few - an organic ginger project in Sikkim, an organic cotton project in Tamil Nadu, both in conversion to Demeter, Coconut & vegetable projects in Thailand and an in conversion calamansi project in a municipality in the Philippines. Another project is an organic municipality in Philippines having 7814 hectares of Agriculture land with 1437 farmers planning to convert to biodynamic practices & principles in the entire municipality certified by a PGS Demeter path by 2024. Am also advising the Ministry of Agriculture & Forests of Bhutan on their plans to get equivalency for their national organic standard, upgrade their local PGS program & set up their accreditation systems.
