Partnering with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) is implementing the Better Cotton Programme to promote sustainable, eco-friendly cotton farming in rural India.
As part of the programme, Rashida Bhaiji, Director โ Farm Quality Implementation & Partnership, Better Cotton, visited the project areas in Nandurbar and Dhule (Maharashtra) last week to observe the programme activities. Interacting with the farmers there, Ms. Rashida visited cotton demonstration plots, inspected crop diversification plots, checked the progress on dam repair work and explored agri-based enterprises like sticky traps, nurseries and Jaivik Ghar.
The visit provided an opportunity to understand farmersโ experiences more closely, observe the adoption of sustainable farming practices, and learn from the work being carried out across the project areas.
LHWRF continues to build ways to connect field-level experiences with programme implementation, nurturing a learning and collaborative approach towards building more resilient cotton farming communities.
