Grain
The grain is the seed of the rice plant, a fertilized and ripened ovule containing a live embryo capable of germinating to produce a new plant. It is composed of the ripened ovary, the lemma and palea, the rachilla, the sterile lemmas, and the awn (not always present). The lemma and palea and their associated structures constitute the hull or husk. The embryo lies at the ventral side of the spikelet next to the lemma and contains the embryonic root. The rest of the grain consists largely of endosperm (the edible portion), containing starch, proteins, sugar, fats, crude fiber, and inorganic matter.
Mission
To consolidate and empower active youth for Sustainable Agriculture by gathering and disseminating existing and newly developed knowledge of inclusive agricultural development.
Vision
Our Vision is to see a new Nepal where youth empowerment and sustainable food system is guaranteed through Agriculture.
Our Goals
EYoSA Goals on Sustainable Agriculture Practices.
1. A sustainable/integrated way of soil management or Soil conservation method.
Different Techniques for improving soil quality and soil protection includes Growing a leguminous plant, limiting the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Integrated soil management practices, Use of new technologies for land preparation viz. (Zero tillage, minimum tillage, mulching techniques, etc and their benefits in crop yield improvement along with soil response).
2. Best agriculture practices method to increase specific crop productivity.
Example: You want to grow tomato with aiming greater yield, Do practices stepwise process to higher yield. Land preparation(raise, plain, shallow bed), recommended fertilizer application(FYM, chemical, Bio-fertilizer(during nursery and Growth stage)), Training and pruning( Time, steps/ method, benefits of training), amount of water applied per day. Etc. Protected house, plastic mulching benefits, and technology for practices.
3. Indigenous crop importance and their performance or Growth of heirloom and older varieties
Listing of an Indigenous crop of Nepal and their importance for food and economic security in Nepal.
4. Crop pest and disease identification
Makes easier for identification of the crop diseases with symptom, appearance time, life cycle and control mechanism. Includes video for better understanding through visualization. Biological control of pest and disease.
5.Polycultures and Crop rotation practices information with different seasonal varieties of crop
Provides information for best crop rotation method to minimize the crop pest/ disease, amelioration of soil quality and reducing risk.
6. Permaculture technique to add value in agriculture.
Permaculture design techniques help in sustainable agriculture through amelioration of soil quality, food, and economic security and use of locally available resources.
7. Organic fertilizer preparation method
Example, Composite fertilizer preparation use various material and process. At the end nutrient present in the fertilizer.
8. Beneficial animal for agriculture and their rearing method
Example: Honey Bee rearing near the different crop file and their benefits and rearing technique.
9. New modern Hi-Tech Agriculture practices method with full detail to control the risk situation.
Example: Hydroponic, Aquaponics, Aeroponic, Platic mulching- drip irrigation, Protected house, etc. preparation cost and their benefits.
10. Urban Agriculture concept and technique
many innovative and sustainable growing techniques are already being used in cities, including backyard farms and gardens, community gardens, rooftop farms, growing crops in urban greenhouses, indoor hydroponic farms, and perhaps even growing food inside urban farm towers someday.
11. Managing whole systems and landscapes
Sustainable farms treat uncultivated or less intensively cultivated areas, such as riparian buffers or prairie strips, as integral to the farm—valued for their role in controlling erosion, reducing nutrient runoff, and supporting pollinators and another biodiversity.
