About Built Environment
The aim of the built environment program is to democratize access to design of livable habitats to address poverty and climate challenges in a climate-stressed world by integrating energy optimization through an ecosystem approach. Underserved communities are usually at the receiving end of the worst impacts of climate change coupled with improper ventilation, natural lighting and thermal conditions; the cost of building resilience and comfort is generally high. The overall energy performance of built environments is influenced by people, units and climate. Hence, innovations need to integrate energy optimization in the application of technologies and the environment of built spaces.
Background
In India, the livelihoods of 20.5 million people depend on livestock management, a sector where 3/4th of the labor force are women. Serving as both a primary and secondary source of income, animal husbandry acts as a crucial safety net, preventing individuals from slipping further into poverty. The decentralized nature of this practice not only fosters local food systems, curbing emissions associated with large-scale production, but also guarantees food and nutritional security at the community level. Furthermore, by generating employment opportunities and helping small businesses, decentralized animal husbandry plays a pivotal role in supporting and strengthening rural economies.
For small and marginal farmers who engage in poultry rearing as primary, secondary or tertiary source of income, high capital investment in shed construction is difficult. The sheds are usually set up ad-hoc in an unsustainable and inefficient way, leading to various challenges that directly and indirectly affect their production and income. Moreover, with the increase in climate change impacts, they are not able to build resilience and security in these livelihoods in the long run. Some of the problem statements identified in such livelihoods include:
- Heat and cold stress, safety conditions and shed management practices result in reduced weights, higher mortality, egg production and lower hatchability among the poultry birds.
- Increased predator attacks are observed due to lack of proper sheds, leading to loss of birds and eggs.
- Lack of dedicated egg laying and hatching areas have led to increased chances of egg breakage and affecting egg laying.
- Improper shed management techniques have increased the disease and mortality rates among the birds.
Scope of Work
SELCO Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified firms or individuals to produce photo and video documentation showcasing the working and operations of Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) integrated backyard poultry coop solution developed and implemented for landless farmers in Tropical wet and dry regions like Davangere in Karnataka.
