The Farm Produce

Currently with all the developments so far, the Banana Plants in the Farm have started yielding on a very regular cyclic basis. This is the first one to give very quick results in the farm interface. The predominant variety includes Natu Palam (a native breed from down south of Tamil Nadu).Also other breeds like Rasthali have started yielding and are reaped every biweekly basis. The farm produced bananas have also shown a considerable fruit size. The attempt now is on developing a supply chain model on how these produces are currently made available to People across the city. The focus is also oriented towards aquatinting people on the importance of such a Biodiversity Farm model in the Urban Realm by giving them very qualitatively and organically produced fruit and harvest. The aim is also to crystallise this prototype of KUF, and arrive at a self sufficient model with other plants, trees and herbs through this Wetland system of Farming and Horticulture.

Creating Value Added Products

The produced Bananas have also been used to develop certain value added food products by Cutting Slicing, Sun drying and grinding producing Banana Powder. The same also gives scope for utilising Banana for a longer period of time. We have successfully used these to develop Recipes made out of Banana and Banana Powder. The attempts strongly point out the potential of developing Value added products from the Farm Harvest. This also gives scope and direction to develop interesting recipes from the various other Farm produce.
