Demand to the Government: Tax benefit for consumers (Rs. 5000 or $100) of millets or any value addition food products of agriculture. (Bills produced by direct trading of support wings, NGOs in agriculture domain or farmers community). Subsidize the transport of millets in railways and other transport agencies. Engineering and scientific road map: Focus on innovation in automation and machines for agriculture need (cultivation, post harvesting and rural marketing). Computational agriculture, open source simulation for preventing agriculture loss. Social network for Farmers: Provide education to farmer’s children via virtual education. Providing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology free courseware to educational institutions and engage them in projects on agriculture machinery, green ecology engineering, to attract young generation in agriculture to overcome acute shortage in agriculture manpower. Exchange of food (millets) for teaching and support teaching staff and promote noon meal schemes. Recognition of agriculture as a rule-bound enterprise of investment and profit making. Food price volatility and climate change. Farmer has complete ownership of seeds; add value food of any agriculture products before and after the harvesting. Hence only farmer can decide on pricing. Promoting small Ponds for rain water harvest in villages, teaming the small farmers together in agriculture jobs, encouraging the weekend visits of people in cities, organic farming, and commercialization add value of agriculture products. Mandatory course for farmers on resilience of water. Promotion of 10 tree sapling by school children through the network of Rotary and NGOs. Posting the supply and creating demands in the market, provide network for the marriage, child birth control, recognizing farming as well treated occupation in the society, attachment to the social well wishers for promoting, coaching the best practices across the farmers. Long term desired goals: By 2015 organic farmers will file Income tax as they are allowed to sell their value additional products directly. Monitoring activities will be done by social activity team in village. We are hoping that by 2020, farmers will not required any loans with the improvement in the line of business of the agriculture in harvesting, post harvesting and value addition products.
