Parallel 6 of 9

Agriculture and Rural Science

Tested farming practice, soil and water science, and rural technology that farmers can use and afford.

कृषि और ग्रामीण विज्ञान

What we do

  • Field demonstrations of farming practices that have been tested, including traditional practices checked against current research.
  • Soil, water and crop science explained in plain Hindi and English for farmers and rural youth.
  • Low-cost rural technology: tools, storage and processing that save labour or reduce losses.
  • Working with farmer producer organisations on quality, value addition and market links.

Why it matters

Most families in rural Madhya Pradesh depend on farming. Good research rarely reaches the field in a form farmers can try, and traditional practice is rarely tested fairly.

Bringing the two together, carefully, can raise incomes and cut risk.
