2.

Climate-proofing fish farming

• Guidelines for designing ponds with increased depth and reduces sizes to counter evaporation losses due to climate change
• Specific fish species recommended

3.

Rain water harvesting and augmentation of water resources for SLEM

• Harvesting of rain water through pond development, staggered trenches etc. for irrigation

4.

Integrated farm development for sustainable land productivity

• Integrates livelihood and ecological security
• Combines ecological innovations with horticultures with access to market

5.
