QA test fundraiser (tracking check, please ignore)

Our Organic Farming Education efforts have transitioned from establishing a training center to training and educating farmers directly in starting organic kitchen gardens, so that they begin to eat healthy clean food, while learning organic Farming so that they can begin to change their practices on their main farm.

We are excited to tell you that this project has been transformed from a small farmers marketing project to a major one on Organic Farming ! Please read and then Donate generously!

What are the problems?

Many decades of “Green Revolution” agriculture have left Punjab with high levels of the use of water, chemical herbicides and pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and decreasing soil fertility, besides having a negative effect on economic and social welfare. So the time has come for gradual transitions to organic farming that begins to reduce these negative effects, while helping consumers overcome the negative health effects of cancer causing chemicals. Also, as of now, there is no direct support for organic farming from the government.

So what is Pagri doing?

That is why PAGRI is transitioning this project to one that provides, “Education and help to farmers to transition to organic farming” in the Faridkot district of Punjab. We are starting helping farmers start organic kitchen gardens combined with poultry farming.

Winter is a good time to try techniques

For a number of reasons, the winter months are more favourable for organic farming.
