The purposes of SREP is to increase farmers input in programme planning and resource allocation at block level and to increase accountability of stake holders, further it is to increase programme co-ordination and integration. The farming system innovation can be increased by better farmers’ organization, identifying technical gaps, which lead to better natural resource management if implemented effectively and efficiently.

What is done to achieve this?

SREP focuses on farms and farming systems in the district. Firstly the team of farm advisors (TOFA) identifies Agro Ecological Situations (AES) and its problems; this is called as the diagnostic section.
