In the semi-arid landscape of Kachchh in Gujarat, farmers have traditionally practised Ram-Mol, or multi-cropping, to sustain through the harshest times.
Kachchh is characterised by harsh summers and bitter winters. Until two decades back, droughts were common. Ram-Mol, that sees the cultivation of up to seven crops together, is a result of indigenous knowledge that ensures both food and fodder in such conditions, with optimal utilisation of water. It also improves soil health.
