Sustainable farming for sustaining India

Nagalakshmi switched to organic farming and grows millets.  AID is helping install drip irrigation in her field.

Every day forty farmers commit suicide in India,
and thousands are driven to debt.

This is how AID addresses agrarian crisis

By providing relief to farmers in crisis: AID helps families of farmers who have committed suicide and farmers facing natural disasters.

By arresting soil depletion:  Farmers get training to move away from chemical farming towards  ecologically sustainable and economically viable techniques.

Through farmer friendly policies:  Advocacy to make governments work for farmer-friendly policies.

By creating public awareness:  Through public programs and consumer-producer linkages, citizens connect issues of farmers, food systems and environment.
