In the last paddy season that ended in Dec 2010, 400 farmers, spread
over 3 blocks in the Sunderbans have been following organic practices on
approx 60 acres of land.
After AID Saathi Revathy shared organic techniques in reclamation of land
and further cultivation, farmers have becomome trainers and are
training others in their area backed by a campaign through posters,
leaflets, street theaters and an Agricultural Fair.
Volunteers from AID Kolkata visited farmers in Sunderbans who have taken
up organic farming after Aila destroyed arable land in the area. |
