Ahar Foundation

Agriculture Development

Since farmers depend on agriculture for their livelihood, the foundation team works to help them identify and utilize sustainable agriculture practices to meet the increasing demand for food.

Promoting sustainable farming practices increases productivity.

Farmers learn about improved farming methods, integrated nutrient management practices to sustain soil fertility, and how to use water efficiently for irrigation. With women villagers more actively engaged in agriculture-related decision making, rural farms are more productive.
I grow mustard, wheat, sorghum, millet, and vegetables. My yield for wheat has grown to 40-45 mann per acre [1 mann=40 kg] and mustard to 18-25 mann per acre as compared to 30-35 mann per acre and 13-15 mann per acre before. Seeing the results, I now buy the right doses of fertilizers and micronutrients for my field. Krishi Jyoti has shown us the way, and I am happy that it has led to a better life for me and my family
