What strategies within the IFS framework can help in enhancing farmers’ income and ensuring inclusive growth as part of the $1 trillion economy roadmap in U.P. ?
The IFS framework can be a powerful tool for boosting farmers' incomes and ensuring inclusive growth in a state such as Uttar Pradesh, especially if accompanied by government-support policies, appropriate infrastructure, private sector involvement, and shifts in agricultural markets. Here are some suggestions,
It is first important to clarify the goals that the strategy wants to achieve, such as:
Raising the income of a small/marginal farmer to a decent standard of living.
Improve agricultural productivity sustainably (using technology, natural resources).
Ensure access to markets and reduce post-harvest losses.
Diversification of economic sources: accompanying agriculture, manufacturing industries, livestock, agricultural industrialization.
Engaging all groups: women, small farmers, marginalized communities
Within the IFS framework, strategies like collective input procurement, digital marketplaces, localized processing hubs, FPO-led marketing, women and youth participation, and smart contract farming can directly enhance farmer incomes, ensure inclusivity, and align agricultural growth with the inclusive development agenda of the $1 trillion economy.
