In addition to the original hub, which is primarily used to process agricultural products, there are now two other hubs that serve as model farms. There, smallholder farmers are shown various entrepreneurial options based on the resources available in the region (e.g. rice, lentils, beekeeping, spices, etc.) through training and advisory visits. In addition, machines are made available to process the agricultural products and a seed bank through which indigenous seeds can be preserved and disseminated. The project is also focussing on how people can sell their produce more profitably.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2970\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2970\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-scaled.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2970 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/csm_paddyfield_pictureSund_57fb8fb586-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2970\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rice Sowing Training<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3099\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3099\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3-1024x768.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3099 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/schoeck-familien-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LIVELIHOOD-TRAINING-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">field training<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Project No.:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 73-17<\/p>\n<p>Funding country:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0India<\/p>\n<p>Funding location:\u00a0 \u00a0 Sundarbans, West Bengal<\/p>\n<p>Funding year:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02017 &#8211; 2024<\/p>\n<p>Project partner: \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.childfund.de\/de\/home.html\">\u00a0 Childfund Deutschland e.V.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Local organization:\u00a0 Bithari Disha<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Knowledge Centre was launched in the Sundarbans in 2017 to promote knowledge within the local community to help people find creative, entrepreneurial and sustainable solutions for their livelihoods at a local level.
