Training on Natural Farming

Environmental wellbeing and Economic Wellbeing

While there are many methods of Natural and Organic farming, we are working towards a solution for this specific geographical area with many support systems. While Permaculture technique comes close to achieving abundance, other practices are also needed to handle the market and financial pressures in the short term. Therefore, a system is designed in such a way that Natural Farming not only brings joy but also provides sustainable livelihoods, ultimately fostering abundance for all kinds of farmers.

The complete and comprehensive seed to seed training includes everything, beginning from obtaining the seeds, land preparation, seed sowing, natural input preparation, developing schedules for sprayings, weeding, obtaining a yield, packaging and value addition, logistics and transport, marketing and sales and finally saving seeds for the next crop. Seed to seed is the core principle of how ancient India thrived in agriculture.

Introduction To Natural Farming

While it is important to train the existing farmers on Natural farming, certain time and space is needed for such a training to be done. Indian farmers are more about “see it, believe it” rather than just sit in a class room and learn the concepts. Therefore, we have taken up an informal way of teaching by explaining to the locals what we are doing. However, it may take a few years for us to create a space where we can demonstrate the environmental and financial success from natural farming.This ongoing activity has the potential to bring about positive improvements in the villages.
