National Smallholder Poultry Development Trust (NSPDT) supports farmer collectives (cooperatives and federations) in business and organisational review and guides collectives in implementing and adhering to smallholder poultry business systems and processes.

It nurtures smallholder poultry networks and promotes initiatives to increase the number of farmers, helping launch new producers.

With the promotion of backyard poultry NSPDT has enabled tribal women in many states earn a respectful livelihood and run successful poultry enterprises.NSPDT model incorporates industrial poultry to a small woman farmer in a remote village. It does this by organising women into collectives, creating systems and processes for them to attain industry competitive production and scale efficiencies. The enterprise gives the woman farmer an income for her labour while giving her the dignity and control of an owner.
