Sustainable Agriculture

Soil Health

Composting, vermicomposting and green manuring help rebuild soil organic matter, improve fertility and reduce dependence on costly external inputs.

Impact1,650+ vermicompost units established | 12 agri-input centres supporting farmers.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Farmers are supported to use bio-inputs and practical pest-management methods such as neem extract, Panchgavya, Dashparni Ark, pheromone traps and sticky boards to reduce dependence on chemical pesticides.

ImpactIntegrated Pest Management and AIC Agri Input support centres included in the programme.

Pata Sowing & Kitchen Gardens

Traditional mixed cropping combines legumes, cereals and vegetables to spread crop risk while also improving household nutrition. Kitchen-garden and seed support encourages families to produce more food locally.

Impact300,000+ kitchen-garden and Pata seed kits distributed.

Traditional Seed Promotion

Dilasa promotes quality and traditional seed varieties suited to local conditions and erratic rainfall, helping farmers retain crop diversity and strengthen resilience.

Impact14,000+ farmers reached through quality and traditional seed promotion.

Farmer Field Schools

Practical learning takes place directly on working farms, allowing farmers to observe and adopt improved techniques under real field conditions.

Impact5,000+ Farmer Field Schools conducted | 200,000+ farmers trained to date.

Organic Farming & LEISA

Organic farming and Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) promote composting, bio-pesticides and natural farming practices that reduce external input costs while rebuilding soil health.

Climate-Resilient Farming

Support includes climate-resilient practices, quality seeds, soil improvement, efficient irrigation and access to weather and government information so farmers can make better decisions under changing conditions.
