We are dedicated to promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices that not only preserve our natural resources but also enhance the livelihoods of the communities we serve. Our NRM initiatives focus on three key areas: Natural Farming, Integrated Farming, and Slope Agriculture & Land Technology.
Natural Farming
Embrace Organic Growth and Sustainability
All interested small and marginal farmers will have reduced costs (~20%) and improved income (~20%) through adoption of improved cultivation practices, access to bio inputs, organic certification and market facilities and through provision of water for 2nd crop in 60 villages in one block (55% of 3000 farmers).

Integrated Farming
Synergizing Agricultural Practices for Maximum Efficiency
We are committed to promoting a sustainable agricultural system that harmoniously integrates livestock, crop production, fish farming, poultry, tree crops, plantation crops, and other complementary systems. Our holistic approach ensures maximum resource efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced productivity for small-scale and large-scale farmers alike.
By implementing innovative and eco-friendly farming techniques, we empower 200 farmers with knowledge, resources, and support to build a self-sustaining, profitable, and resilient agricultural ecosystem. Our model fosters biodiversity, soil health, and water conservation, contributing to a healthier environment and a prosperous farming community.
Bio Resource Center
We are dedicated to supporting farmers with low-cost bio-stimulants through BRC (Bio-Resource Centers) to improve soil health and crop nutrition. This helps farmers produce high-quality crops, ensuring better health for consumers and strengthening the local market.
- 4 BRC Centers established in Seethampeta Mandal, Parvathi Puram Manyam District
- 2,000 + farmers benefited from our bio-stimulants
- Training provided on bio-stimulant preparation and cattle lining
- Support for cow urine collection and unit construction
Through these initiatives, we promote sustainable farming and help farmers reduce costs while improving productivity.

Slope Agriculture & Land Technology
Harnessing Hills and Slopes for Sustainable Farming
In areas with hilly or sloping terrain, Slope Agriculture Land Technology (SALT) offers a methodical approach to stabilize and farm these landscapes. Our SALT initiatives focus on:
- Contour Farming: Plowing along the contour lines to prevent soil erosion and conserve water.
- Terracing: Creating stepped levels on the slopes to reduce runoff and improve water retention.
- Agroforestry on Slopes: Planting trees and shrubs along the contours to stabilize soil and provide additional resources like fruits, firewood, and fodder.
- Cover Cropping: Growing cover crops to protect the soil from erosion, improve soil fertility, and suppress weeds.

Seed Banking System
Our Seed Bank System is designed to support sustainable farming by preserving and distributing high-quality seeds to farmers. We currently operate four seed banks, ensuring farmers have access to diverse and resilient crop varieties
How It Works
Annual Support – Each year, we provide seeds to 580 farmers.
Farmer Reach – So far, 1,650 farmers have benefited from our seed banks.
Seed Varieties – We offer:
- Paddy
- Red gram
- Pulses
- Millets
