Conclusion
CONCEPT OF FFP
Farmer FIRST - concept of ICAR developed asfarmer in a centric role for research problemidentification, prioritization and conduct ofexperiments and its management in farmers’conditions.
Enriching knowledge
Integrating technology
CONCEPT OF FFP
FFP aims at enriching Farmers–Scientist interface,technology assemblage, application and feedback,partnership and institutional building and contentmobilization has been initiated since October, 2016.
To enhance farmer-scientist interface, enrichknowledge and facilitate continued feedback;
To develop modules for farm women to addressdrudgery reduction, income enhancement andlivelihood security;
FFP Objectives
To study performance of technologies and perceptionof the farmers about agriculture as a profession in therural settings;
To institutionalize Farmer FIRST process.
Demand driven Research
Multi stake holders-participation
Multi-functional agriculture
Multi-method approaches
Multiple realities and perspectives
FFP aims at enhancing farmer-scientist interface for technology development and application.
ROLE OF STAKEHOLDERS
Actively manage, implement and monitor experiments/trials
Closely link with extension and research in the process
Researchers have responsibilities to implement researchand technology development in reality
Participate in the whole process together with farmers andextensionists, provide technology information, scientificknowledge to support the implementation
Researchers /teachers
Enabling involvement of researchers for continuous
interaction with farm conditions, problem orientation,
exchange of knowledge between farmers and other
stakeholders, prioritization of problems and setting up of
research agenda
Integrating components of technology for application in
different agro-ecosystems with focus on innovations and
feedback

EXTENT OF FARMER PARTICIPATION IN THE FARMER
FIRST PROGRAMME IN HARYANA, INDIA
- Manjeet and Joginder Singh Malik (2019)
The study was conducted in the Haryana state, in twoDistricts Hisar and Karnal selected purposely. From Hisar,Gurana was taken as adopted village and Datta as non-adopted village whereas from Karnal, Garhi Gujran wastaken as adopted and Samora as a non-adopted village.
Total 240 respondents were selected viz., 120 from eachdistrict, 60 farmers from each adopted villages and non-adopted villages
Methodology
CASE STUDIES OF FARMERS UNDER FFP
Enhanced inome through Horticultural enterprise
Profile of farmer: Mr. Rajendra Hegde, aged about 45 years
residing at Kebbedoddi village, Kanakapura Taluk,
Ramanagara District
Area and Experience : 2.0 ha land with 15 years of farming
experience.
Problem identified: lack of technical knowledge regarding improved
method of vegetable cultivation, improved varieties/hybrids, and
price volatility, low yield and fluctuating income
Technological interventions : Farmer was given ICAR-IIHR’s
high yielding, triple disease resistant tomato hybrid (Arka
Rakshak), French beans (Arka Sharath) &Ridge Gourd
varieties (Arka Prasan).
Methodology followed: With the inception of the Farmers FIRST
project and successive field visits, farmers’ scientist
interaction meets enabled to introduce the high yielding and
disease resistant vegetable varieties.

SUCCESS THROUGH INTEGRATED FARMING
Background of farmer:Mr.Sunil Naik, aged about 29 years
residing at Vasappanadoddi village, Kanakapura Taluk,
Ramanagara District.
Area and Experience: 2.4 ha land with 8 years of farming
experience.
Problem identified: Lack of awareness and knowledge on
crop diversification, scientific management in integrated
farming and recycling of farm residue through effective
management
Technological intervention: Introduced institute hybrids
and varieties which are high yielding and disease resistant
improved varieties
Methodology followed: provided training support, conducted
regular field visits and monitored the demonstration plots
with proper technical guidance continuously
