At a village meeting, Poosam spoke openly about his struggles and was selected to take up an Integrated Farming System on his land. He was trained in crop planning, water management, and organic techniques like Jeevamrutha and Panchagavya, along with collective vegetable marketing. A farm pond was dug and stocked with fish, and backyard poultry was set up alongside it — poultry waste feeding the fish in one connected, low-cost cycle.
