Regenerative Food

An initiative that empowers farmers to adopt climate-smart regenerative farming, integrating agroecological practices to build resilient farm systems and establish sustainable, nutritious food value chains.

Grameena Vikas Kendram empowers farmers to transition from chemical-based to low-cost, climate-smart regenerative farming. By integrating animal husbandry, soil building, crop diversification, natural pest and disease management, and promoting food security and dietary diversity, the project builds resilient farm systems rooted in agroecological principles. Supported by the Hugo Boss Foundation, the initiative seeks to establish regenerative food value chains, including local processing units, to enhance the livelihoods of target communities. Through regenerative agriculture certification, farmers gain access to premium international markets, fostering sustainable economic growth and entrepreneurship at the community level.
