Why focus on Sustainable Agriculture Development?

End Poverty’s programme on sustainable agriculture has been growing in scale and scope year on year. End Poverty nurtures and motivates farmers to adopt best practices in the following ways:

• Promotes adoption of sustainable farming techniques to optimise the resources and in turn conserving basic life support systems with focus on land and water conservation
• Promotes development of value chains across agricultural commodities with an aim to enhance farmers’ income
• Promotes less water consuming crops to remove the stress on the already limited water ground water resources
• Builds capacities of farmers to tackle the adverse effects of climate change by adoption of climate resilient farming techniques through series of trainings
• Provides for good quality inputs such as seeds and manure to increase productivity and hence the income of the farmers
• Provides soil health management services and facilitate soil health cards for the farmers
• Organises exposure visits to agricultural universities, Kisan Melas, ICAR’s Krishi Vigyan Kendra, etc. to build the farmers’ capacities on modern agricultural techniques
