Sustainable Agriculture
Why focus on Sustainable Agriculture Development?
The agriculture sector holds immense significance in India, supporting 60% of the population’s livelihoods. However, this sector faces significant challenges, such as small land holdings, a lack of infrastructure, poor-quality input supplies, and a lack of modern scientific knowledge etc. Our sustainable agriculture program continually expands, aiming to empower farmers and elevate their incomes through innovative, responsible, and holistic approaches. We actively promote the adoption of sustainable farming techniques, encourage the development of value chains, and advocate for less water-intensive crops to alleviate stress on limited groundwater resources. Through capacity-building initiatives, we equip farmers with climate-resilient techniques and provide top-notch input services for enhanced productivity. Committed to a sustainable and resilient agricultural future, we prioritize positive change, farmer well-being, and the long-term prosperity of India’s crucial agriculture sector.

Our Projects On Sustainable Agriculture
2019 - Present
Plant A Tree For Life
'Plant A Tree For Life' has been our organization's pioneering and longest-running project. The project started with the aim to help farmers diversify from field crops to horticulture crops. This strategic intervention strives to encourage horticulture farming among the farmers as it offers higher returns, needs less water and labor, and improves the environment and nutrition in the family. It not only promises higher financial returns but also necessitates environmental benefits, creating a win-win situation for both the farmers and the environment. A remarkable achievement of this year is the planting of 38824 saplings benefiting about 1000 farmers at distinct locations, namely, Rewari, Guna, Bulandshahar, and Mahendragarh. With this year's additions, we have planted a total of 100953 saplings, benefiting around 3473 farmers at large. Reflecting on the project's trajectory, we observe commendable growth since its inception in the 2009-10 period, with an initial planting of 500 saplings. The subsequent years have seen a consistent and significant increase in sapling plantations:2009-10 - 500; 2010-11 - 1000; 2011-12 - 1200; 2012- 13 - 1500; 2013-14 - 2636; 2014-15 - 5253; 2015-16 - 1914; 2016-17 - 5962; 2017-18- 2789; 2018-19 - 13896; 2019-20 - 9173; 2020-21 - 5378; 2021-22 - 6096; 2022-23 - 38824
