HUBBALLI: Young farmers in Haveri district have come up with an innovative method to turn husbandry into a lucrative affair. They are administering limewater to their cattle, which keeps the oxen healthy, and results in a surge in the quantity of milk produced by cows.

This is part of the sustainable livelihoods for smallholder farmers' programme introduced by the Initiative for Development Foundation (IDF) in June. It is being funded by the Paris-based Louis Dreyfus Foundation, which started the project in 2015.

Head of Farm Livelihood, IDF, Bengaluru, Srikanth S P told TOI that the initiative is aimed at empowering the rural community in combating the problems of climate change. "It will help improve farm income through a sustainable approach, including proper livestock practices. This will also help in building people's institution of farmers over a period of time to sustain the initiatives of the programme. Formation and nurturing of self-help groups, comprising farmers, will be used as a platform to promote the initiatives effectively and sustainably," he said.

Pointing to the practice of administering limewater to cattle, project manager of IDF Haveri, Anand Chougala said it enhances milk productivity and reduces the cost of production.
