Monsanto in association with Indian Society of Agribusiness Professionals (ISAP), a non-government organisation (NGO), has launched a project called SHARE (Sustainable Harvest - Agriculture, Resources, Environment). The project is aimed at improving the socio-economic condition of farmers in the country by increasing their crop productivity.
Around 10,000 small-marginal cotton and corn farmers in 1100 villages across three states are planned to be covered under the project within four years. "This project is a joint effort to demonstrate a sustainable model to impact the lives of 10,000 farmers. The model will provide small and marginal farmers access to technology, better inputs, agronomic practices, and market linkages to improve farm productivity, thereby making farming a viable proposition.” said Rajiv Dar, CEO, NGO ISAP.
