We Promote Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Farming Practices
Key Activities
Farmer Training and Capacity Building
We conduct regular workshops, field demonstrations, and farmer field schools to train smallholder farmers in sustainable agricultural practices. Topics include compost making, soil conservation, organic pest control, crop diversification, agroforestry, water-saving techniques, and post-harvest handling.
Establishment of Demonstration Farms
We set up model farms or plots in target communities to showcase practical applications of eco-friendly methods such as intercropping, no-till farming, crop rotation, cover cropping, and permaculture design. These serve as real-time learning sites for farmers.
Composting and Organic Fertilizer Production
We train farmers in making and applying compost, vermicompost, and other organic soil enhancers using locally available materials. Establish community compost hubs or promote household-level compost bins to reduce dependence on chemical inputs.
Water Harvesting and Conservation
We introduce and construct water harvesting systems such as rain barrels, shallow ponds, swales, and trenches. We promote efficient irrigation methods like drip irrigation or clay pot irrigation to reduce water use and improve drought resilience.
Integrated Pest and Disease Management
We train farmers to use natural pest repellents, beneficial insects, crop rotations, and physical barriers to control pests without harmful chemicals, protecting both crops and ecosystems.
