Farmers in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh adopt 'Berkeley compost' to grow vegetables -Jyotsna Richhariya

-Gaon Connection

Under Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission, TRIF is training rural residents to make compost within 18 days using the Berkeley method. Women are using this compost to grow a variety of vegetables.

Seema's one acre farmland is lush green even in peak summer season with a range of organic vegetables growing on it. It's been over nine months that the 33-year-old community worker from Urra village in Mihinpurwa block of Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh started making compost at home. 

"We were trained with demonstrations of the compost making process, which I further improved upon at my house and have also trained some other women of the village. I now grow vegetables like ivy gourd and lady finger using my own compost," Seems told Gaon Connection. 

And it is no ordinary compost that Seema and other women of Urra village are making and using in their fields. They have been trained to make Berkeley compost. As the name suggests, the method of Berkeley compost has been developed by the US-based University of California, Berkeley. Transform Rural India Foundation (TRIF), a grassroot non-profit organisation, has introduced this method under the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission in a block of Bahraich district in the state.
