Soil Conservation

If you lived in Jeliakhali, a village in the Sundarbans, water would decide your year. After seasons of watching rain disappear, soil wash away, and wells run low, farmers here dug ponds on their own land with support from Gram Samriddhi Foundation.

Crop rotation improves soil fertility, reduces chemicals, and supports eco-friendly farming. See why this ancient method is still essential.

Today Kadbanwadi has 100 farm ponds, 3 percolation tanks, 27 cement bunds and 110 earthen bunds.

Returning to your roots after travelling is not a decision anyone takes lightly. Madhu Reddy talks about the journey that inspired her to return to her family farm and convert it into a chemical-free establishment.
