Community farming is a step in the right direction with overwhelmingly support by the government, the group of small and marginal farmers who have come forward and initiated by the President of comunidade of Chinchinim Agnelo Furtado and supported by their own Velim MLA Cruz Silva makes the project fertile. Imagine, around 170 hectares of land will be brought under paddy cultivation by working hand in hand together to utilize the cultivable waste lands or under-utilized lands to earn their livelihoods and make Goa green. It is important to learn that community farming has huge value in helping to control environmental pollution, improving physical activity, producing nutrition that builds healthy living, improves the relations with neighbourhood and gives economic growth to the farmers -- making the stakeholders proud. If you look back few decades ago, Goa's paddy farming was lushly green, with such initiatives, the future is definitely bright again. Goans nowadays are becoming aware of the fact that the food they eat is exposed to chemicals and is potentially carcinogenic -- not anymore when they will sow their own seeds and reap healthy produce.
