    • Agricultural extension and advisory services (AEAS) doing so many things for social & ecological harmony. So many organizations, governments, and individuals are doing their best but still a long way to go.

      It's time to introduce a single platform to the development of agricultural livelihoods.

      A platform for everyone who can add some value. I working for years to sustainable agriculture establishment and I have seen so many organizations, governments, and individuals working in their own way. They using their force, their energy, their talent, their knowledge towards development and betterment of the agricultural society and it will make difference in many lives but again it's required an advanced and full proof plan for complete change with sustainability.

      If we talk about gender and nutrition only, that is already very important part of complete agricultural life cycle.

      We must accept that woman is the axis of human life and women always known for her management for life, hardcore survivor, and responsible human being.

      As AEAS want to cover this topic than there are following steps should be taken;

      1. An awareness campaign about the Healthy Lifestyle, food requirements, working capacity, time management, the basic necessity of living with result oriented regular follow-ups and anytime assistance. 

      2.  Kick back training program for every family to an establishment of sustainable living. Training about asset & resource management, health requirements & food habits, the importance of cleanliness & quality management, assets & liability management, skill development & integrated business management.

      3. Categorized every individual as per skills and available resources. Provide them the managed work platform. Monitored and guided by experts. Meanwhile, create local experts for lifelong assistance. Employment generation fills the all gaps. 

      4. Practical group assignments to perform and better output. Divide work as per category, Female can perform in-house management, they can maintain books, packaging, procurement, hand work with soft skills, food & cleanliness management etc. so they take care of these activities and other side males can handle outdoor activities, hard work skills, security & protection, heavy work, field operations etc. so they actively fulfil their part.

      5. In a healthy and balanced work environment always establish a positive and productive social development so if a family generate reasonable living needs, there will be no place for inequality and Malnutrition type of words.

      If we want a real change we need to work from scratch and push to the top in one shot, as if we want to make a tasty dish, after all, we required all ingredients on time.

      We are reaching the 4th industrial age and still, we have a big gap between developing and developed countries. We have the sharp technology and huge knowledge so we need to act accordingly.

      I try to explain as I have my working experience.

      Thank you so much
