Programs & Initiatives
Transformative, science-backed programs designed to restore soil health, empower farmers, and build climate-resilient agricultural systems across India.
Building a Healthier Future from the Ground Up
Our programs take a holistic, farmer-centric approach to soil restoration. From on-ground soil testing and organic farming transitions to research partnerships and community-led nutrient management, every initiative is designed for measurable impact at scale. We work across India's diverse agro-climatic zones, adapting our methodologies to local conditions while maintaining rigorous scientific standards.
Our Programs
Explore our core programs — each designed to address a critical dimension of soil health and farmer wellbeing.
Soil Restoration Program
Our flagship program focuses on reversing soil degradation through a comprehensive approach that includes soil health assessments, customized restoration plans, and long-term monitoring. We work with farming communities to implement proven regenerative practices that rebuild soil organic matter, restore microbial diversity, and improve water-holding capacity.
Key Objectives
- Restore soil organic carbon levels by 30% within three years
- Map and assess soil health across 50,000+ acres annually
- Introduce cover cropping and green manuring on degraded lands
- Establish community seed banks for native cover crop varieties
Who Can Participate
Smallholder and marginal farmers with land holdings under 5 acres, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and farming cooperatives in program districts.
Expected Impact
15-25% improvement in crop yields, 40% reduction in chemical fertilizer dependency, measurably improved water retention, and enhanced carbon sequestration across participating farmlands.
Quick Facts
- Duration 3-Year Cycle
- Reach 12 States
- Farmers Enrolled 25,000+
- Status Active
Organic Farming Transition
We guide farmers through the complete journey of transitioning from conventional chemical-intensive farming to certified organic practices. Our program provides technical support, access to organic inputs, market linkages, and financial guidance during the critical three-year conversion period.
Key Objectives
- Support 10,000 farmers in achieving organic certification
- Establish community-level bio-input production units
- Create direct market channels for organic produce
- Reduce chemical pesticide usage by 100% in enrolled farms
Who Can Participate
Any farmer willing to commit to a three-year transition plan. Priority given to farmer groups and clusters to enable Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) certification.
Expected Impact
20-30% premium on organic produce, 50% reduction in input costs after stabilization, dramatically improved soil biology, and elimination of health risks from chemical exposure.

Farmer Training Academy
Our comprehensive training program combines classroom learning with hands-on field practice. Through a network of demonstration farms and training centers, we equip farmers with practical skills in soil testing, composting, bio-input preparation, crop planning, and integrated pest management.
Key Objectives
- Train 50,000 farmers annually through in-person workshops
- Develop regional language learning modules and video content
- Establish 100 model demonstration farms as learning hubs
- Create a cadre of 500 Master Trainers from farming communities
Who Can Participate
All farmers, agricultural workers, and rural youth. Special batches for women farmers and farmer group leaders. No prior education requirements.
Expected Impact
Improved adoption of sustainable practices by 70% of trained farmers, creation of peer-learning networks, and development of local agricultural expertise that sustains beyond the program period.
Quick Facts
- Duration 5-Day Intensive
- Reach 15 States
- Farmers Trained 1,20,000+
- Status Active
Research & Innovation Hub
Our research program bridges the gap between laboratory science and field practice. We conduct applied research on soil biology, carbon sequestration, bio-input efficacy, and climate-adaptive farming systems in partnership with leading research institutions.
Key Objectives
- Develop region-specific soil restoration protocols
- Build India's largest open-access soil health database
- Publish peer-reviewed studies on regenerative agriculture outcomes
- Innovate low-cost soil testing and monitoring technologies
Who Can Participate
Research institutions, universities, PhD scholars, and agricultural scientists. Farmers participate as field-research partners and citizen scientists.
Expected Impact
Evidence-based policy recommendations, scalable soil restoration models, and freely available knowledge resources that benefit the entire agricultural ecosystem.
Quick Facts
- Active Studies 18 Projects
- Partner Institutions 12
- Publications 35+
- Status Active
Community Mobilization
Lasting change starts with empowered communities. This program builds village-level institutions — Soil Health Committees, women self-help groups, and youth clubs — that take ownership of soil restoration in their regions and sustain practices long after our direct engagement ends.
Key Objectives
- Establish Soil Health Committees in 500+ villages
- Promote women-led soil stewardship initiatives
- Create inter-village knowledge exchange networks
- Engage rural youth as Soil Health Champions
Who Can Participate
Entire village communities including farmers, women's groups, youth organizations, local government representatives, and school teachers.
Expected Impact
Self-sustaining community institutions, widespread adoption of soil-friendly practices at village scale, stronger social cohesion, and increased collective bargaining power for farmers.
Quick Facts
- Duration Ongoing
- Villages 350+
- Committees Formed 280
- Status Active
Integrated Nutrient Management
This program helps farmers optimize nutrient use through soil testing, balanced fertilization, and integration of organic and biological inputs. We provide farm-specific nutrient prescriptions based on soil analysis, reducing waste and environmental impact while maximizing crop nutrition.
Key Objectives
- Provide soil-test-based nutrient recommendations to 100,000 farmers
- Set up 50 village-level soil testing micro-labs
- Reduce chemical fertilizer over-application by 40%
- Promote vermicomposting and bio-fertilizer adoption
Who Can Participate
All farmers in program districts. Particularly beneficial for those currently dependent on high chemical fertilizer inputs and experiencing diminishing returns.
Expected Impact
30-40% reduction in fertilizer costs, improved soil pH balance, restoration of micro-nutrient levels, and measurably healthier crops with higher nutritional value.
Quick Facts
- Duration Season-Based
- Reach 10 States
- Soil Tests Done 75,000+
