Sustainable farming is the future, but only if the markets are ready to match your effort.

SwitchON Foundation and EarthON Foundation are proud to launch the ONganic FPO Accelerator Program. This is a 3-year partnership designed to transform sustainable FPOs into market-ready institutions by bridging the gap between field production and premium retail channels.

Our integrated model combines renewable energy technologies with milestone-linked capital and direct buyer access. By scaling systems within the agricultural supply chain, we are helping grassroots organisations and FPOs build long-term financial resilience in underserved communities.

Whether you are an FPO practising natural farming or a CBBO looking to strengthen your impact, the ONganic Accelerator provides the structured tools and market layers you need to grow.

At the Sonamukhi Bio Resource Centre in Sonamukhi, 10 farmers have demonstrated the incredible impact of BRC NPK on rice cultivation. By moving away from traditional inputs that increase costs and pest risks, these farmers have achieved 100% healthier plant growth and significantly higher yields.

The results are clear:

▪️Healthier Crops: Plants are greener with better nutrient intake.

▪️Climate Resilience: Stronger root systems to survive adverse conditions.

▪️Pest Protection: Noticeably lower insect attacks compared to non-BRC fields.

▪️Cost Efficiency: Lowering the overall cost of cultivation by reducing the need for chemical interventions.

SwitchON Foundation is proud to support these farmers in their journey toward sustainable agriculture in India. By choosing bio-inputs, we are protecting our soil and ensuring water conservation in agriculture.

Did you know that community-led farming can slash input costs by 90%?

Through SwitchON Foundation, farmers are setting up Bio-Resource Centres to produce their own organic inputs. This shift is driving sustainable agriculture in India by making farming more affordable and eco-friendly.

Our centres also integrate water conservation in agriculture and renewable energy access to ensure long-term resilience. Lowering costs is the first step to doubling farmer income.

For Mousumi Guin, breaking free from the grip of middlemen was the first step toward a thriving future. Through SwitchON Foundation, she transformed her life by mastering business finance and market negotiation. This journey has not only boosted her income but has also established her as a leader in sustainable agriculture India.

By moving away from traditional "mahajans," Mousumi is now securing renewable energy access for her own business ideas. She is planning to supply saree dyes to local weavers, ensuring they have quality inputs at a fair price while promoting water conservation in agriculture through efficient production.

She is even helping her peers understand how to navigate the solar pump price with subsidy to lower their overheads. Mousumi is proof that when women step out, the whole economy moves forward.

Did you know that switching to solar is about more than just "going green"?
For many farmers, fuel costs for irrigation can drain nearly 25% of their profits. SwitchON Foundation is working to bridge this gap by providing renewable energy access that empowers rural communities. By helping farmers transition to sustainable agriculture India, we are ensuring they have the tools to thrive despite a changing climate.
Our mission involves working closely with policymakers to keep the solar pump price with subsidy transparent and accessible. This shift not only secures livelihoods but also promotes vital water conservation in agriculture.

What we believe vs what actually works.

Many believe organic farming means low yield and low income.

But the reality is different—small yield gaps and lower costs lead to better profits for farmers.

SwitchON is supporting this shift towards sustainable and profitable farming.

Awareness is the first step to change.
