At Aatapi Seva Foundation, we believe in staying ahead of the weather to secure farmers' futures. This year, we are thrilled to scale our Pre-Monsoon Dry Sowing (PMDS) Campaign across the 84 villages Jambusar Taluka in Bharuch!
By integrating the principles of Natural Farming into our PMDS strategy, we are ensuring that the fields of Jambusar are not just productive, but regenerative.
The Science Behind the Success đ§Ş
We are training farmers in natural techniques to head start:
â˘â â Seed Pelletization: Coating seeds with a mixture of Ghanajeevamrut, field soil, and ash to protect against pests and retain moisture.
â˘â â Navadhanya Diversity: Sowing a diverse mix of pulses, cereals, and oilseeds to ensure the "Living Root" principle keeping the soil covered 365 days a year.
Why This Matters for Farmers of Jambusar đ
In Jambusar, soil salinity acts as a silent thief, stealing the land's fertility and leaving our farmers with hardened earth and struggling crops. Our on-ground demonstrations show PMDS is our frontline defense this holistic approach delivers:
â˘â â Rebuilt Soil Health: Rapidly increasing Soil Organic Carbon and earthworm counts.
â˘â â Bio-Drilling: Deep root pe*******on that improves soil structure and water infiltration.
â˘â â Biomass Boost: Generating up to 7+ tons of green biomass per acre to feed the soil food web.
â˘â â Climate Shield: Protecting topsoil from erosion during heavy monsoon downpours.
Our team is dedicated to providing the technical guidance and hand holding support to empower every farmer. Together, we are cultivating a toxin-free, food-secure, and climate-resilient Jambusar.
Thank you to our CSR Partners, NCNF, agroecology networks, NGOs and NF practitioners for building our Knowledge and capacities to take this mission forward.
